Entertaining and psychedelic animated short film about a free-spirited man who hums (the theme from the Godfather) while creating art in the countryside. He admires butterflies and birds, but also has thoughts of capturing them. When a bizarre multicolored amorphous alien lands to admire him, he runs away in fear of being captured. The alien follows the man and continues to explore, all the while shapeshifting to become the things it touches. The man's fear is quieted only when the alien starts to hum the man's favorite song, and the two eventually become friends.
