Life with Grandfather Lamor

Hihlík Overcomes His Fear

Left all by himself, Hihlík must overcome his deep fear and do something he has never dared to do before. He gathers his courage and climbs out of the window, leaving the safety of his childhood home behind. It is the first great act of bravery in the young Oddsockeater's life.

Setting Off to Find Uncle Padre

Now alone, Hihlík sets out on a journey to find his Uncle Padre, a relative he had no idea even existed until now. He carries nothing with him but the lessons and love his grandfather instilled in him. The search for his unknown family becomes the driving force of his adventure.

Arriving at Uncle Padre's House

After his search succeeds, Hihlík finally arrives at the home of his Uncle Padre, who leads a mafia-style gang of Oddsockeaters. Here he also meets his two sly cousins for the very first time. It is a strange new world for the well-raised young Oddsockeater, very different from the home he knew.

A New Life in a Gangster Home

Hihlík tries to settle into his new home, which is in fact a robbery den run like a mafia operation. His new family lives by rules and habits that greatly differ from the honest upbringing he received from his grandfather. Despite the strange environment, Hihlík hopes he has finally found the family he longed for.

Dangerous Situations with the Sly Cousins

The two sly cousins repeatedly drag Hihlík into dangerous situations as they pull him deeper into the gang's lifestyle. The innocent young Oddsockeater finds himself facing adventures far riskier than anything he has known before. Nevertheless, he holds on to his ideals and principles no matter what happens.

Two Hostile Gangs Clash

The story unfolds against the backdrop of two hostile Oddsockeater gangs whose rivalry grows ever more intense. Their conflict becomes a clash of two generations and two opposing moral codes in a curious human-like world. Hihlík, caught between them, must decide where he truly belongs.

The Professor Becomes the Biggest Opponent

A weirdo known as the abandoned Professor emerges as the biggest opponent of the Oddsockeaters. His strange presence threatens the fate of all the main protagonists, both the gangs and Hihlík's new family. The confrontation with this peculiar enemy pushes the adventure to its limits.

Hihlík Faces a Heavy Moral Dilemma

Hihlík is confronted with the two basic rules of the Oddsockeaters: 'Never take a couple' and 'Stay people, but stay away from them.' His conscience, shaped by his grandfather's good upbringing, pulls him in one direction while his desperate desire for family pulls him in another. The choice he must make weighs heavily on his heart.

Breaking the Rule: Never Take a Couple

With a heavy heart, Hihlík breaks the first of the two sacred scavenger rules: 'Never take a couple.' He does it only because he truly believes that he has exhausted every other means of reaching his desired goal. The act marks a painful turning point for the otherwise principled young Oddsockeater.

Breaking the Rule: Stay Away From People

Hihlík goes one step further and also breaks the second fundamental rule: 'Stay people, but stay away from them.' By crossing this line, he enters territory forbidden to his kind. He accepts this risk because his longing for family has left him with no other way forward.

The Desired Goal: Family

Having exhausted all other means, Hihlík pursues his ultimate goal - to finally have a family of his own. Everything he has endured, from losing his grandfather to breaking the sacred rules, has been driven by this longing. His journey proves that for him, family is worth every sacrifice, even sacrificing his own principles.

A Clash of Two Generations and Two Morals

In the end, the adventures of the Oddsockeaters culminate in a clash between two generations and two entirely different sets of morals. The gangster world of Uncle Padre and the honest values of grandfather Lamor collide through Hihlík himself. From this collision, Hihlík emerges having learned what family, courage, and staying true to oneself truly mean.
