Considered a classic work by both the Czech and world animated cinematography which influenced a number of animated pictures in the beginning of the Sixties. With the maximum possible number of generalisations, the film wittily parodies human envy and covetousness by focusing on two creatures fighting for their place in the sun where there is space enough for everybody.
