Vašek and Honza, two pupils of an elementary school in a small village, artfully move through the expositions of the Brno fair. They collect many leaflets, thoroughly inspect everything and constantly gorge themselves with various delicacies, which gives Vašek a bad stomach. The next day, however, everything is all right. These two boys, whose overactive imaginations keep them far from the top of the class, tell their classmates about their adventures, both real and made-up. In their dreamt-up world, there is an automatic machine which can fulfil one wish to everybody. The boys would like to be the first people to fly to the Moon. The rocket which they had boarded promised them that if they returned in three days minus three hours plus three minutes minus three seconds, it would take them to outer space. Vašek and Honza already see themselves being celebrated as heroes. Then they go fishing and experience a fantastic adventure - but they are caught and imprisoned at the Špilberg castle. They manage to escape but reach the rocket too late. The rocket has flown away, leaving behind a letter of apology and a song about a land of fantasy which was composed for the boys by the sonic automatic machine Sonor. (official distributor synopsis)
