Synopsis:
In a thrilling journey, the children Tytyl and Mytyl set out in search of the Blue Bird, the key to healing the fairy’s daughter. Their quest begins in the Land of Memories, where they reunite with their grandfather, and continues in a magnificent palace. As night falls, all kinds of evils – illnesses, wars, and ghosts- emerge from the palace doors to frighten the children and force them to abandon their search for the Blue Bird. Yet the two young heroes remain steadfast, determined to continue their adventure and reach their goal, guided and encouraged at every step by “Smile of the Light,” who strengthens their resolve.
