Mr. Rossi, weary of office monotony and his demanding boss, receives a magical whistle from the eccentric Fairy Sicura. This golden instrument becomes his ticket to a journey across time. Accompanied by Gastone, his boss's tiny and somewhat spoiled dog, he catapults into prehistoric jungles, the arena of Ancient Rome, a gloomy Medieval castle, and even a deserted island. Each epoch delivers unexpected escapades, from dinosaur encounters to Wild West shootouts, as the hero searches for happiness in distant centuries and fairy-tale realms.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

A witty and kind-hearted parable about the search for contentment, where fantasy serves as a metaphor for an inner journey. The vibrant animation and dynamic plot sweep viewers of all ages into a whirlwind of humorous and instructive situations.

What lingers after the final whistle is a warm feeling and a simple yet vital insight about where true joy is actually found. The most valuable treasures are often close at hand, not in distant centuries. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Bruno Bozzetto
