A witty children's comedy about boys who dream of becoming astronauts. Two friends built an entire spaceport, stole their friend's puppy Sharik for experiments, renaming him Marsik, ate only herring paste from a tube for training, and fought with the greedy speculator Zakurdayev, who mined his garden to keep the boys out. Animated sequences are seamlessly and inventively woven into the film's fabric.
