Filip heads to town to buy new shoes, but when his father gets sidetracked, Filip must finish the task alone.
A simple mix-up, buying two right-foot shoes, leads to an unexpected journey through an unfamiliar world! Too ashamed to go home empty handed, Filip (Matei Donciu) sets off to fix the mistake himself, befriending a loyal stray dog along the way.
A charming, heartwarming adventure that perfectly captures the tiny triumphs, quiet courage, and unforgettable first steps of growing up.
