A poetically and wittily performed fable about the eternal dream of fortune. It mocks non-critical admiration of all things foreign that have such deep roots in our country. The Shetland pony from Liberec (Northern Bohemia) zoo goes to Shetlands to spend his holiday in the promised land. On Shetlands it is welcomed by rain, wind and cold and he ends up in bed with a cold.
