Five young people take off in a lighter-than-air machine at the Prague Centennial Exhibition. In an Art Nouveau style, the film consists of live action generally shot in black and white, as well as hand-drawn, stop-motion, and cutout animation. Various live-action and animated elements are often composited into the same scene.

VIBE

A delightful journey into a fantastical world where imagination takes flight. This film feels like stepping into a beautifully illustrated storybook, blending old-world charm with inventive, hand-crafted visuals for a truly unique adventure.
