Synopsis :
Khaldoun is a painter who masters the art of creating new hues by mixing the three primary colors: red, blue, and yellow. After years of experimentation, he grows weary and decides to paint only in shades of light: black and white. Offended and betrayed, the colors that once animated his work abandon him and leave his studio. From that day on, the brilliance of every object in the space fades, even the sun loses its glow.
Unable to understand why the colors are outraged, the painter seeks help from his friend, the clown, who promises to mend the relationship on one condition: Khaldoun must write a song praising the virtues and beauty of colors. The clown also offers to help decorate the city, hoping to restore its lost radiance.
