The film tells the story of Maja and Nikulás meeting and how they develop a friendship when she starts to visit him regularly. This worries Bergur, Nikulás' son, especially after he learns that his father intends to leave the girl an inheritance, a Chinese vase. Bergur takes action, and the short-lived adventure ends in a more tragic way than is usually the case in fairy tales.
