Young Honza is spending a week with his dad on a boat. It'd be fun if Honza weren't upset about his parents having recently split up. He'd like to talk about it and, even more, would like to persuade his dad to return home, but he refuses talk about it. When Honza finds a that has a blank piece of paper in it, he gets an idea. On the paper he writes: COME BACK HOME! CASTAWAY. Now all he's got to do is inconspicuously pass it to his father and hope he figures out how much he misses him. But it won't be as easy as Honza thinks. All of his creative attempts to deliver the bottle and have his dad open it and read the note end in failure. As if his father knows something!
