What happens

Spadla z oblakov (Slovak, in English translated as She Fell from the clouds) is a Slovak language sci-fi TV series for children created in 1978. The series became very popular in Czechoslovakia and several other countries. The series was based on 1967 child book Spadla z nebe (She came out of the blue sky) by Václav Pavel Borovička, a Czech writer and screenwriter. The first, very successful edition was followed by several reprints, the last in year 2000 (ISBN 80-7214-365-4). The TV series follows the book quite closely, except for the ending, which is changed from sad to relatively happy (instead of dying, the protagonist goes back where she came from).
