    • Synopsis
    • "Zoki Poki" is a children's television series based on the idea of Olivera Nikolova's eponymous book, which is a mandatory school read and a favorite children’s book of many generations. The story of the series is contemporary, taking place in the present, but the timeline and spirit of the tales inspired from the famous book , are captured through the memories of the parents of the "modern" Zoki Poki.
      Every child can recognize itself in the characters of Zoki Poki and his neighborhood bunch. The obstacles he encounters, the things that torment him, the questions that seem unanswerable, the passion, the games, the dreams and the fantasies, his day-to-day life are more or less the same for all of today's Zoki Poki peers. The TV series, as well as the novel, deals with the issues and problems associated with childhood - first friendships, loves, disappointments, the naive discovery of the world and the universe, the first confrontation with the problems of the society in which they live.
      The childish world of Zoki Poki is represented through events, ups and downs, and the stories are mainly located in the three primary environments where a childhood takes place – the home, the neighborhood and the school, and of course that magical part od childhood the fourth dimension - the fantasy. The stories speak of the relationships in the family, between parents and children, and generally between adults and children, as well as the relationships among friends with all the specifics that come from our famous characters stories.
