Well, Bizgeci are feathery people and live in the area of dry steppes. Their homes are neat and quite lofty cages. Bizgeci are the link between primates and birds. They keep a domesticated cat and one human being - the professor. Of course, they are not those funny and stupid people you meet with every day in school, at home or during your various activities. We speak about special feathery people living in dry steppes. The exact location of their homeland hasn't been found so far. In our trivial terrestrial dimensions their dry steppes sometimes appear somewhere in Asia and from time to time also closer, perhaps in the neighborhood of certain Rumanian village. In any case we can undoubtedly suspect that their real country travels through a virtual space and occupies the virtual life of computers. Bizgeci live quickly and always try to catch up with their slippery stories. Very probably they live sometimes also in our heads. They even move from one head to another when we walk in the street, write our homework or dream our dreams. We never notice when Bizgeci - Koki, Bigo, Figo, the Professor and the Cat - travel through the landscape of our dreams to someone else's dreams. Their different characters one can identify with, contribute to a unique curiosity of the stories.

In the middle of a big city, a little land called Pimpan is squeezed amidst the surrounding skyscrapers made from iron-reinforced concrete. Only flower-covered meadows, trees and a pond can be found in it. In one of the flowers a little girl called Pim was born some centuries ago and on her neighbouring flower a little boy called Pan was born. After a while they had so many children that they ran out of names. That is why they started calling them the Pimpans. The Pimpan people were born, the kindest of all, until the first flower withered due to the polluted air from the Iron-concrete city - and THE STORIES BEGIN.

The documentary entitled 'Janez Puhar's Lost Formula' introduces the Slovenian inventor of glass-plate photography from the point of view of a foreign observer, that of Scotsman Robin Crichton, who wonders how and why we honour him, since he is virtually unknown in the Western world. Robin decides to single-handedly look into these Slovenian beliefs. Puhar claims that for the light-sensitive matter he used mercury, sulfur, iodine and possibly varnish, which he applied in the end to protect the emulsion. But his real formula has never been brought to light anywhere. Indeed, the whole world knows that no one has used Puhar's ingredients to make photographs, because the said three elements are not sensitive to light - neither separately nor together as a compound. Robin therefore arrives at the key question: are the four Puhar originals, which currently exist around the world, real or are they just a mistake made by Slovenian historians and museum specialists?

Vienna, 1904. In Mietke's Art Salon a new exhibition opens: the "SAVA" Art Club from Ljubljana presents a series of successful works of art, of which the most noticeable are the Impressionist style paintings. Vienna's art criticism scene is enthusiastic and especially praises the perception of the "Stimmung" common to all of the exhibited Impressionist paintings. Grohar, Jama, Sternen, Jakopic. We need to search for their beginnings ten, fifteen years back. Anton Azbe, a painter from the Poljanska dolina opens his own painting school, where he teaches following his own principle called "Kugelprinzip". His pupils include Kandinski, Javlenski and all four of the Slovenian painters. Our painters are not satisfied, though; they feel closer to the French and their Impressionist approach to light and the object. They therefore begin to paint outdoors, mainly in the countryside around Skofja Loka, and at different times of the day. However, their subsequent work is not as brilliant.
