For two decades, Éva Janikovszky wrote her famous children's monologues, which have remained popular ever since. In some of her books, she always writes about the problems of her boy protagonist, which are related to a particular age. This is how the authors tried to fit the children's monologues "If I were an adult", "Something always happens to me" and the twin books "Be glad you're a boy" and "Be glad you're a girl" around the title work. The protagonist escapes from his life, full of commands and rules, first into the fantasy world of adulthood, then, trying to meet the challenges of going to school. Finally, he experiences the treacle of adolescence, when he is transformed from a clingy toddler into a novice, awkward adult by the conflicts of change. In Róbert Alföldi's film, children and adults play each other. The child in the adult role is very comic, and the adult relegated to the role of child is very awkward.
