Along the way Leo sees many wonders of the world, and meets kind people who are willing to lend a hand, even to a perfect stranger. An old writer also teaches Leo to listen, and pay close attention to the messages that people reveal beyond their words.
At last the little wanderer returns home, wiser and content.

Tuuli kuiskii Laurin korvaan terveisiä vieraista maista. Innostuneena pikku matkamies lähtee pitkälle vaellukselle, jonka aikana hän kohtaa elämän suuria ja pieniä ihmeitä.
Lauri tapaa lämpimiä ihmisiä, jotka huolehtivat myös tuntemattomasta kulkijasta. Aina ei tarvita edes yhteistä kieltä. Samat ilot ja surut täyttävät ihmismielen. Vanha kirjailija opettaa Laurille, miten tärkeää on kuunnella elämää ja sitä viestiä, joka kulkee sanojen välissä.
Matkan jälkeen vaeltajan on turvallista asettua kotiportaille ihailemaan ilta-auringon kultaamaa tuttua laaksoa ja tutkia sydämeen tallennettuja muistoja.
