In the first episode Šíma falls into a spell of dreams full of colourful instrumental combinations. He becomes a conductor, is haunted by a nightmare (a moth) and meets dreamy Lupi. Will Lupi eventually manage to wake up Šíma?

Music with its special might
Makes dreams day and night.
Each instrument has colour
To make our head wonder.
