Introduction
A dictionary… it sorts the words that people use to share feelings, reveals and presents the most appropriate word meanings in a useful manner. This film is the story of an eclectic editorial department at a publisher, where the eccentric characters strive to compile (=weave) a dictionary (=boat) to cross the dark sea of words, a story of the joy of words, the joy of life, a hymn of praise to those truly in love.
