Plot summary

Fourth form boy Tolik Ryizhkov (Evaldas Mikaliunas) is a naughty child and fibber. Once he received a box of magic matches while hiding behind the iron door of a transformer booth. Every match, when broken, can act like a magic wand but just once.

A boy with his two friends and a dog find themselves on an island of an evil wizard (Sergei Yevsyunin) of their age, who found the equal box of matches and used them to create his own little egocentric world.

The young wizard put Tolik's friends in prison and is trying to make Tolik as evil as himself. But Tolik stays faithful to his friendship and rescues his friends without the help of any magic.

Trivia

After transforming back from pigeon into Zaytsev Saveli Kramarov appears nude in the end of the film.

gollark: I played it lots in my youth, pretty fun.

gollark: Modding works entirely through patching the really weirdly formatted data files (or in a few cases directly patching game data in memory, or something like that).

gollark: There are some infinite play mods, but they can't really do much to the gameplay.

gollark: It wouldn't be that difficult to fake a screenshot by just inspect-elementing an existing one and changing the image and timestamps, no need for you to actually reply.

gollark: The quality is probably not ideal, but I am not one of those "audiophiles" who actually notices differences in music at all.
