The Flame and the Cotton Ball is a film about a little flame who lives in Fireland. He works hard in the noisy mines but he doesn’t like it there. He would rather lie on his back, looking up in the sky daydreaming – something which makes him a real outsider.
One day he sees a strange white creature behind a rock. It looks like a living cloud in the shape of a girl. And this turns his world upside down. But the cloud-girl disappears, and his desire to look for her, drives him out of Fireland. As he finally finds the girl she proves to be of much harder fabric than her soft appearance. And she is not made of clouds but of cotton. The situation becomes critical as Flame falls in love with her, because how can you be with someone who is so easily burnt?
