A musician playing a glass harmonica comes to a town governed by bureaucracy and corruption. His melodies introduce new ideas in the form of a red carnation, however his instrument is shattered to pieces by the man-in-black, and he is taken in, to be disappeared forever. The carnation withers, but it's found by a young kid who listened to the melodies the musician played, and in his hand, the carnation turns red once again. The young kid leaves town, and comes back as an adult, playing a glass harmonica. The man-in-black shatters the instrument again, but this time thousands of carnations fly around, and the collective power banishes the man-in-black and fight his corrupt power.
