Czech puppet astronauts discover space weed that could save Earth's farms. Yes, really.
The leader of a group of young technicians tells us the story of the "Proxima Centauri Company", which may one day become reality. Four researchers are tasked with flying a proton rocket to our neighboring solar system Proxima Centauri, and analyzing living conditions on planet A 4. However, a mysterious black forest awaits them on the planet, the secret of which they can only uncover after dangerous and adventurous research work. However, they discovered a strong plant growth hormone that also promises great benefits for earthly agriculture. In this way, the researchers return to Earth with important findings.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
1963 Czechoslovakia was space-crazy, pumping out puppet sci-fi to compete with American blockbusters on zero budget.
Director Jörg d'Bomba made roughly 47 billion short films; this might be his only space epic. Records are fuzzy. Puppet film historians are few.
