Higher Than Rainbow or (Russian: Выше радуги, romanized: Vyshe radugi) is a 1986 Soviet television musical film directed by Georgi Yungvald-Khilkevich.




Plot


Schoolboy Alik Raduga (“Rainbow”) lives in a creative family (his father is a musician and composer, mother is a choreographer) which has made him a dreamer and a poet. Studying is very easy for Alik, but there is one problem: Rainbow is not able to jump high, and therefore is among the worst in gym class.
In his fantasies Alik floats on the table like a gondola on the sea and communicates with the Siren, who suddenly offers Raduga to fulfill his innermost desire. Without hesitating, Alik asks to be gifted with the ability to jump up at any height. Siren performs the boy's request, but stipulates one condition: if Raduga ever tells a single lie, the gift will disappear immediately!
Endowed with the magic force Alik becomes a hit in gym class. The overwhelmed teacher immediately sends Raduga to the athletics sports team. But wanting to bail out a girl whom Alik loves, Raduga lies, the gift disappears and now Alik can not even jump through a straw ...
The situation could be remedied by using the help of Ivan Ivanovich. This is the legendary Ivan the Fool, whom the evil witch turned into a stump. During his walks, Alik finds this stump, carves a wooden figure from it, and thus revives Ivan Ivanovich. They have a lot of fun talking and Ivan Ivanovich constantly offers to help Raduga. But Alik decides to reach the heights of sport by himself, with the help of tedious training rather than magical power ...
