Synopsis: One day, Jeník, an ordinary grade school boy not very popular with his classmates, gets a gift from his father - large cocoons of exotic butterflies. One of them, quite unexpectedly, hatches a tiny fairy, which the boy names Uguru. The boy takes the other hatched butterflies to a botanical garden, but the fairy eventually wants him to rescue them. The small fairy must hide from both the boy's mother and from his best friend Lucie.
