When fifth-grader Sofia is assigned homework to find information about five literary figures connected to the Trenčín region, she is far from pleased. She doesn’t like reading and has no interest in searching for facts about Ľudmila Podjavorinská, Karel Čapek, Michal Rešetka, Vojtech Zamarovský, and Kornel Földvári in the local library. It all seems like a waste of time to her. She would rather use artificial intelligence—but her teacher has forbidden it.
Sofia is surprised when she meets a magical sprite—Knižkuľka—in the library. Knižkuľka takes her on a journey through time and space, where Sofia meets all five authors in person. Along the way, they also encounter Čapek’s robots, Podjavorinská’s sparrow Čimo, and even Tutankhamun from Zamarovský’s work Gods and Kings of Ancient Egypt.
Sofia begins to enjoy these encounters and realizes how much she has learned. She becomes confident that she will impress her teacher with her knowledge and decides to visit the library more often—even when she doesn’t have homework.
The event is organized in cooperation with the Trenčín City Theatre.
