The Hour of Blue Elephants

Two days before Christmas. Zuzanka and Tomáš, friends from a kindergarten wander off during a walk. They admire toys and decoration in shop-windows. Zuzanka shall receive a sledge as a Christmas present and Tomáš even a desired little brother. At a shooting gallery Tomáš aims at a target on the trunk of a blue elephant which can call in Christmas. The impatient Zuzanka pushes to her friend and he shoots directly to the elephant's red eye. Things which the owner of the shooting gallery warned about happened: the sun popped on the sky, the snow melted and all Christmas shopping has stopped. Both pushful children decide to get a new eye for the elephant so that everything can be set right. In a department store they take a paternoster up to the warehouse of toys to the fairytale star. The warehouseman Halala tries to help them in vain. In the meantime they are chased by Tomáš's grandpa, the magician Bertoldi, who was supposed to baby-sit the grandchild before his mother comes back from hospital. Tomáš and Zuzanka experience still a lot of adventure - they meet for instance their future siblings before they are advised by blue elephants on the Christmas island that Zuzanka's red button on her shirt is exactly what they are looking for. The grandpa takes both refugees to the shooting gallery and the elephant gets his eye back. The grandpa hits the target exactly and this starts the Christmas just on time.
