Short filmTranscript
00:00When he was a boy, Vitko had an accident with his family. Their car fell off the bridge and his father died.
00:06Years later, as a teenager, Vitko is still in the dark about it and develops a paralyzing fear of heights.
00:12One morning he didn't want to go to school because he was going to the mountain to watch the sunset, and he was afraid that his phobia would catch him.
00:19His mother persuaded him to change his mind, promising him that his father would always protect him.
00:25In the meantime, a thousand years ago, the shaman uses his magic to start a spell that will help him find the stone of power.
00:32The fire in front of him shapes the head of a dragon, which corresponds to the image on Vitko's jacket.
00:37Speaking of Vitko, he is actually having fun on a trip with his best friend Vovchik and a toy plane he made himself.
00:44Vitko also brought a bunch of firecrackers that will ignite at the end of the day, and Vovchik brought his megaphone to play.
00:50After walking through the forest for a while, the group has to cross the bridge to reach the top of the mountain, but Vitko freezes in the middle of the bridge because of his phobia, and Vovchik has to pull him back to the beginning.
01:00The whole class starts laughing at Vitko for what they consider a funny fear, and his pants were wet, thinking they were peeing, and in fact it was a puddle of water in his pocket.
01:10Humiliated, Vitko runs back into the forest and hides behind a cliff.
01:14Vovchik follows him to remind him that such friends are not needed, but their conversation ends when it finally starts to get dark and the surprise earthquake hits the area.
01:23Vovchik falls from the cliff and holds on to the rock for a while, but he won't be able to stay that way for long.
01:28Vitko wants to help him, but the phobia keeps him frozen, and before he can think of what to do, the magic portal opens behind him and absorbs Vitko along with the megaphone.
01:38When Vitko opens his eyes again, he finds himself on the same cliff, but in the past, a thousand years ago.
01:44In the vicinity, there is a man in the armor of Oleshko who picks a flower for the girl he likes when he is surprised by the attack of a group of enemy kumans.
01:52Defeating these soldiers is easy for Oleshko and his skill with a sword, but things get complicated when he is attacked by their leader Ando, who quickly reinforces him and brings more soldiers to capture Oleshko.
02:02At that moment, Vitko bumps into him while trying to see better and accidentally activates the megaphone, distracting the soldier's attention and giving Oleshko a chance to escape.
02:10Fortunately, Oleshko has a horse and can take Vitko with him.
02:13When they reach the river, Oleshko summons a spirit that lives there to make a path for him to pass, and that path disappears when Oleshko and Vitko pass, so Ando and the kumans stay for now and leave.
02:24Oleshko leads Vitko to his village, which is protected by a fortress from which he is not allowed to leave, so his elders hate him for disrespecting the order.
02:31Vitko's clothes and the way he talks to the villagers look strange and, thinking that he is a spy, his elders lock him up until he decides what to do.
02:38In the meantime, Ando goes to see the shaman to talk about the failure of their mission, but the shaman, surprised, reacts happily when he hears about the boy in a strange dress.
02:47Since the dragon on his soldier does not correspond to what he sees in the shaman's visions, it means that Vitko is the person who will lead them to the Stone Power.
02:54Some time later, Vitko visits Olenka, a young girl who brings him milk and checks if it is good, and also confirms that it is in 1120.
03:02Before Vitko can ask more, Oleshko comes after him and takes him to the river for a test, the water spirit will decide whether he is a spy or trustworthy.
03:10Vitko is thrown into the river with tied hands and at the moment thinks he will die, but the water spirit considers him innocent and throws him out without injury.
03:18The villagers still consider him a weirdo, but at least now Vitko is accepted as one of them and he meets his elders as he should.
03:25There is the wise elder Ovsi and even more shockingly, the fighters Ilja and Dobrinja, combining their names with Oleshko, Vitko realizes that these are three powerful, rich warriors from the legend.
03:34They do not believe Vitko when he says that from the future everything is until he uses the megaphone as evidence, and when he asks for a way to go back in time, Ovsi promises to check it out.
03:43In the meantime, Vitko will stay with Rosanka and her mother, and Oleshko takes him there as an excuse to talk to Rosanka, because she is the girl he took flowers for.
03:52Later, in the evening, Ovsi comes with some news after talking to the water spirit, there are two ways to return Vitko to the future.
03:59He can either wait for another darkness that will reopen the portal again, or look for a magician who will teach him how to open it by force.
04:06Oleshko knows where to find a magician, but he is not sure if Vitko should go, because magicians put people through very difficult experiences before they help them, so Vitko makes an agreement, if Oleshko trains him, we will give him our megaphone.
04:18Oleshko accepts and Vitko spends a few days in the village, learning how to use a sword, bow and arrow, and just the general advice on how to defend himself.
04:26They also meet the observer in the fortress, which is so high that it helps them to sweep the whole kingdom, and there is Harijan, a human prisoner who steals a badge from Vitko and is obsessed with gifts.
04:36In exchange for his training, Oleshko plays with all kinds of modern objects, such as chewing gums and takes pictures with a mobile phone, and also finds out that in the future he is a wizard from a fairy tale.
04:47After Vitko's training is over, Oleshko gets a megaphone, and for the return, he gives Vitko a map to find the magician, although he must promise that he will not tell the elders to leave, because leaving the fortress is forbidden, and Oleshko cannot follow him.
05:00Later that day, Oleshko visits Rosanka again, using the megaphone to take her out of the house without her mother seeing her, but she is not impressed by the fact that one day she will be known.
05:09The next morning, the human shaman throws a spell on Gavran to spy on Vitko, who left the village and is now crossing the forest.
05:16He is not sure if he is following Oleshko's map correctly, but luckily he does not climb the cliff, while he guards it and assures him that he will be his guide, because he seems to know the area well.
05:25Unnoticing Gavran who is following them, the teenagers walk for several hours until they enter a passage between two large stone walls, and Vitko is surprised to find himself in a deserted land, which is an illusion cast by the magician.
05:35Vitko can hear his voice speaking to him in his mind, asking him for a test if he wants to know, he must admit his greatest fear, and lying would only bring him punishment.
05:44Without hesitation, Vitko tells a story about an unfortunate accident with his fear of heights and the fact that this fear was on his way to save the wolf.
05:51The magician is good at waiting because he has accepted his own weakness and shares the information he is looking for, the stone power that will bring him back to the future can be found where the nests are winged and he will see it when the wind blows.
06:02Only someone who can touch the other with their heart can do that, but this power can also spread pain and suffering around.
06:09As soon as the magician finishes talking to the magician, Vitko returns to the forest and finds out that Olenka never noticed that he was not there.
06:16However, she believes him when she shares her experience and assumes that the nest for the winged must mean the village of Roda.
06:22They arrive in this village a few hours later, and to find the stone, Vitko uses a dragon that he makes on the face of the place to stop the wind, as the magician said.
06:31The dragon falls into the water and Vitko jumps inside to follow the nest until he finally finds the stone of power.
06:36The magician sees all this and as soon as the news reaches the shaman, he sends a bunch of Kuman soldiers to steal the stone.
06:41These warriors are merciless and not only take Vitko and Olenka, but also kill the locals and burn their houses.
06:47Fortunately, thanks to the guards, the soldiers in the fortress find out about this attack and immediately send their warriors, i.e. Ilja, Dobrinja and Oleska.
06:55They easily break through the Kumans with their superpowers, but there is a hidden shooter in the forest that they cannot see.
07:01Vitko sees him and uses his bow to hit him before he shoots one arrow.
07:06After returning to the fortress, Vitko and Olenka are criticized for leaving the village, but at least Ilja promises that he will lead Vitko the next day so that he can find a place where he can use the stone.
07:16In the meantime, Ando, who is angry at the shaman Erich, has cost his plan to the entire unit of soldiers and threatens to kill him if he is not given the stone next time.
07:24The next morning, Vitko was brought to the wall that brought him to the past, but the stone's power on it does nothing.
07:30Vitko thinks it has to do with the work of the spell that commemorates the heart, but the sheep think they should wait for the storm, because God who created that stone is the master of thunder, and that can activate his power.
07:41When he returns to the fortress, Vitko follows the sheep to his house and discovers that he is an old magician who is trying to make a flying machine.
07:48Of course, his knowledge is lacking, so Vitko takes the opportunity to learn aerodynamics by using a paper plane as an example.
07:55Since then, Vitko and the sheep have been working together to make functional wings, but Vitko also spends some time with Olenka, who shares local legends with him, including one about a couple in love with each other who leave behind a stone heart.
08:08To thank her for everything, Vitko gives her a cute little paper bird.
08:13While the shaman is preparing for a new spell for his next plan, Ilya and his people manage to catch the Kuman soldier and interrogate him until they find out that Andako knows about the stone, which means that they need to hide it to protect him.
08:25The sheep think it is the best hiding place on top of the observation deck, and when they notice that Vitko does not want to go up with him, they remind him that facing his fears is important and that Vitko will always have the support of the village on which he can rely.
08:37Driving the elevator causes nervousness, but Vitko manages to get to the top and at least start controlling his fear a little.
08:43The sheep hides the stone in the old wall, and this is seen by the shaman's magic, who decides that the time has come.
08:48A few hours later, a storm finally comes, and Olenka tries to tell Vitko that she does not want to go.
08:53But he does not understand the metaphor she is using.
08:56Soon the rain begins to turn on the ice that hits Tuharin in his cage, and it seems that Vitko feels bad about it, so he takes the old core and covers the cage with it to protect the prisoner.
09:06Olenka is impressed by Vitko's bravery and rewards him with a kiss on the cheek.
09:11That night, lightning strikes the walls of the fortress and breaks the stone that falls near the cage, Tuharin uses this opportunity to break the door and run away under the protection of the rain.
09:20Tuharin travels all the way to the human camp, where he discovers that he is Andako's brother, but Andako does not want to have anything to do with such a deformed beast.
09:27The gifts that Tuharin brought for him do not impress him, because they are stupid like chickens, but Andako quickly changes his mind when the shaman notices that Tuharin also brought the power of the stone.
09:37However, the stone is still not activated, and the shaman fails when he tries to use it, notifying Andako that they will need the person who took the stone from the river to start it.
09:46The next morning, people in the fortress find out that Tuharin and the stone have disappeared.
09:50An attack on the human camp would be a bad idea that would kill them all.
09:54Then Vitko and Ovsi concentrate on the completion of the flying machine, because that is their only hope to return the stone.
10:00Some time later, while Ovi and Olenka go out to collect beans and a little mud to paint the flying machine, a group of human warriors attacks who take Olenka away.
10:09Ovsi tries to defend himself, but there are too many of them and he is eventually wounded.
10:13He manages to return to the village, but can only tell everyone what happened to Olenka before he died.
10:18Speaking of Olenka, she is taken away from Andako, who steals a paper bird and sends it with a crow as a message to Vitko.
10:25Dangerous as it was, Vitko decides to go alone to the human camp, where he is asked to activate the stone if he wants Olenka to live.
10:32Pretending to know what he is doing, Vitko takes the flamethrower out of his bag and burns it while speaking in a funny phrase of his time English language that would seem to speak mysteriously, i.e. the mythical language.
10:43Then he throws the flamethrower at the soldiers to create chaos and confusion in the camp, which allows him to grab Olenka and run to the horse.
10:49Unfortunately, before they can escape, Andako, who gives Vitko a last chance to activate the stone, is captured again, or both of them will be killed.
10:57Vitko does not know what to do until he repeats the riddle in his head and realizes that from heart to heart means the magic of human connection.
11:03Olenka approaches, and when he holds the stone together, the magic inside him finally comes to life.
11:08After the shaman takes the stone to strengthen their army, Andako orders Tuharin to kill the teenagers, but he can't do that because he remembers how much Vitko was fond of him.
11:18Instead, Tuharin frees Vitko and Olenka and gives them a horse, and such a gesture brings him a piece of candy from Vitko as a thank you.
11:25Tuharin loves gifts and tries to impress his brother with candy, but Andako eventually kills him for what she considers a great betrayal.
11:32The next morning, Vitko and Olenka return to the fortress and warn us all about the upcoming Kuman attack.
11:37All the soldiers and three rich warriors are preparing to defend their home, but nothing prepares them for the sight that comes with the Kuman army,
11:44it is a wild golem that the shaman controls with the strength of a stone.
11:48The fortress shoots out of the catapult, but none of the projectiles are strong enough to hurt the golem, in fact, the big guy takes one of the pieces and throws it back, breaking the gate.
11:57Realizing how heavy the golem is, Oleshko gets the idea and leaves the fortress to push the golem to chase him,
12:03skillfully avoiding every slow attack until he pushes the golem to collide.
12:07Then the golem falls into the river, where the water spirit traps him.
12:10Oleshko also falls into the river, which worries Rosanka and runs to the shore to cry for him.
12:14But it turns out that he is quite good and Rosanka rewards his heroism with a kiss.
12:19At that moment, a new darkness begins, so Vitko leaves Olenka and takes a horse to quickly reach the wall with the portal.
12:26Unfortunately, the darkness is also seen as a sign from the side, but he orders his army to use the weak light and attack the fortress.
12:33Under the wise leadership of the three rich peasants, he defends his home from the Kuman army to the extent that even women manage to strike a blow or two.
12:41Being in an unfavorable position, however, he decides to go with his soldiers before everyone is killed,
12:46but the shaman is not ready to give up yet, he still has control over the stone and manages to pull the golem out of the water for a new attack.
12:53Noticing the return of the golem, even in the distance, Vitko decides to return to the fortress and share the plan to defeat him.
12:59The words of support are still strong in his mind and help him to overcome his fear,
13:04allowing Vitko to quickly take the elevator to the top of the observatory and hop on the flying machine that flies exactly as it is designed.
13:11At the same time, the golem arrives at the fortress to start destroying it, but Vitko lands on the cliff where the shaman stands, pushing him to his death and finally returning the stone to his eyes.
13:20Andako also arrives on the cliff, intending to steal the stone, so Vitko throws him into the water to prevent him from falling into the wrong hands and causing the golem to fall apart.
13:30Angry, Andako wants to kill Vitko because of his audacity, but Oleshko comes to the time to fight him again in a fierce battle between the masters of the chivalry.
13:38Since Andako does not have his army to support him this time, he falls to his death, just like the shaman.
13:44There is no time for glory, because the darkness is about to end, so Oleshko leads Vitko to the forest to find the portal on the stone.
13:50Before Vitko leaves, he comes to apologize and kiss the golem, promising that he will always wait for him.
13:56As soon as he enters the portal, Vitko moves back to the present, where the golem is still holding on to the chisel.
14:01Now that he is no longer afraid of heights, Vitko is able to save him, and that is what the sheep of his class bring him.
14:08A year later, Vitko's mother surprises him with an old book that she has been looking for since his darkness.
14:13Following the information in the text, Vitko manages to find the Heart Stone from the story, and by touching it, he can feel the presence of Olenka in the past by touching it as well.
