But Why?Synopsis
A small boy is playing with a toy train and repeatedly asks his grandmother questions, she answers him patiently. She explains to him that she knits socks because she likes knitting and she also tells him that his mother doesn't knit or wear socks like this because she buys machine-knitted women's footwear from Baťa.
