The coffee grinder - the main character of the play - finds himself in the Lost Objects Shelter, where unwanted, faded, stumbling objects are given medicine for sadness because the shelter's director, Redbeard, keeps them locked in boxes and forbids them from walking in the streets and crying. At the Lost and Found, Little Mill falls in love with a broken umbrella and flies to the moon in search of a special machine to repair umbrellas. In this hilarious journey full of quirky characters and magic words, Little Mill discovers something very simple and unexpected in his heroic efforts to save Umbrella from her sorrow...

Inspired by the famous Polish poet K. I. Gałczyński's fairy tale "The Coffee Grinder", adapted for the stage by the Polish playwright Małgorzata Sikorska-Miszczuk, the audience is promised a rhythmic and symbolically eloquent puppet play, where lyrical and playful adventures alternate with one another. 
Interestingly, Gałczyński, famous for his collection of absurdist miniatures and humorous sketches, The Theatre of the Green Goose (which was the basis for a performance for young people at the Lėlė Theatre in Vilnius in 2010), created The Coffee Grinder while living on Malūnų Street in Vilnius.

"I understand that you can be born a muggle, but do you have to be one all your life?" - asks one of the characters in our story. And it seems to me that this question best reflects the meaning of the play. We don't try to find answers - we prefer to ask questions. In my opinion, The Coffee Grinder is a play about discovering your potential. And at the same time, it's about the healing power of a hug, which is so lacking these days." - says Ewa Piotrowska, a Polish director who is working for the first time at the Lėla Theatre (in the play "The Red Book").
