Honza falls in love with the maid Maruška and for her sake enters the service of a malicious farmer. The king promises the one who gets the king's daughter, who has been silent for ten years, to speak again, this to the wife and half the kingdom too. Honza manages with skill and intelligence to get the king's daughter to talk. He has to choose Maruška or the princess. Honza takes Maruška as his wife.
criticism
“Sympathetic fairy tale film based on the 'Stupid Hans' stories, also known in Germany, with a Czech pop star in the lead role. The director - not to be confused with Karel Zeman - is one of the veterans of Czech fairy tale films and is rather unknown in this country. "
