!!Tropes:
* BaldOfEvil: The barber is the villain of the story. He's bald and wears a moustache.
* CassandraTruth: Even more so when he appears as his father to tell off the barber that he stole the flower pots. At this time all the people healed by the barber state that they'd still support him even if the accusation was true.
* ChildrenAreInnocent: The professor [[AnAesop explicitly says so]]. Note however, that the barber's son is pretty much an asshole despite being a kid, and the professor is a good guy despite being old. It's really more about whether you are "a child at heart".
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Cestmir, the protagonist. After reading a pseudoscientific article about telekinesis, he thinks it's really possible in our world. Of course, [[HowUnscientific most people wouldn't believe in magical flowers either...]]
* CoolTeacher: Philip, who falls in love with the protagonist's big sister. He has a friendly relationship to his pupils and he helps them in their fight against the villain.
* TheCuckoolanderWasRight:: The one time Cestmír tells a story he didn't make up, nobody believes him.
* {{Cyborg}}: The institute where David's father works, which aims for the improvement of man, has invented among other things a helm which improves the olfactory sense and a more practical tool for improving hearing.
* TheDitz: The barber's son. In one scene he fails to add two one-digit numbers! (AlternateCharacterInterpretation: He sees homework as beneath his dignity.)
* TheFountainOfYouth: One of the flowers cause people to de-age. The old professor uses it, but apparently nobody else.
* {{Flight}}: Done by one of the two flowers Cestmir gets.
* GenerationXerox: Everyone tells Cestmir that he's "just like his father". Consequently, when the one flower turns him into an adult, he's played by his father's actor. [[InformedAbility Despite the fact that there isn't really much similarity.]]
* GoAmongMadPeople: The father is mistaken for crazy, because his son sometimes poses as him -- in his adult form, caused by the magical flower, he looks like his father. Cestmir is a weird boy as it is, and with his pre-teen behaviour, he can't succefully pass for a sane adult.
* GreenRocks: The meteorite which is found by Cestmír and later, his teacher Philip. It glows blue, and sometimes changes its size; when people come too close to it, they're sucked into it and go to the planet of the magical flowers.
* HealingHands: One of the magical flowers can heal any disease, including baldness. The barber uses to become a famous healer. At the end, the city's hospital is empty.
* JerkAss: The barber and his son. They are arrogant, insufferable and full of themselves.
* MagicalLand: The planet of the magical flowers.
* OvernightAgeUp: One flower the protagonist gets can do that for a few hours. Which he and his allies use a few times.
* PlantPeople: The flowers in the other world can speak, and apparently humans can communicate with them.
* {{Psychokinesis}}: Cestmir thinks he can obtain this ability after reading an article about a fakir. Later, he tries using it to open the safe where the stolen flowers are.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: The barber, Mr Blecha, when he gains lots of money from the magical plants.
* SmallNameBigEgo: The barber's son. He wants to be called "grand vizier" by the other kids and throws a temper when they won't.
* SuperIntelligence: One flower boosts one's intelligence and mental abilities. It gives you all kinds of sklills, like speaking Japanese.
* SuperSenses: The barber's wife uses it [[MundaneUtility to learn all kinds of interesting gossip]], which she puts into the newspaper.
* SuperStrength: One flower plant causes extraordinary strength and speed. The barber and his son once use it to win a tennis match (6:0, 6:0, 6:0, unsurprisingly).
* TemptingFate: At the end, the barber has lost the flowers, though he has the meteorite. When the boys mock him, he shows them the stone... which flies away into space, never to return.
* TwoGuysAndAGirl: The group of friends consist of protagonist Cestmir and his great friends David and Barbora.
* UrbanFantasy: The story is set in a small Czech town in the 1980s. The characters can be transported to a fantastic plannet of plants and they gain mogical flowers that boost your abilities and give you amazing super powers.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: The barber who wants to use the flowers to make money and get famous. He's popular since he can cure people's maladies easily.
* YearInsideHourOutside: Philip spends almost one year there, but on Earth only a few minutes passed when he gets back.
