Nora Delora lives in Hest, where people are loud, unkind to one another, and pollute the town with garbage. Nora loves her town, and has a dream of making it a peaceful and pleasant place to live. She weaves a dress for herself out of garbage, sells everything she owns, and goes out on a quest to save her town.
