A historical film that takes place on the eve of the thirty year war combines aspects of fairy-tales with historical dramas, fencing with a child heroes who find themselves in great dangers. We are in the year 1611 and mercenaries that had previously invaded Czech lands now have to withdraw before the Hungarian king's army. In this chaos a magical bottle, that fulfills the owner one single wish, appears among some fugitives - however after the fulfillment it has to be sold for half it's price to a new owner. The director Ludvík Ráža has created an attractive and surprisingly cruel film aimed not only at young viewers.

A TV adaptation of the famous novel in which writer Zikmund Winter depicts the life story of Prague university professor and humanist poet Jan Campanus Vodňanský and his efforts to save the ancient university after the Battle of White Mountain. Campanus gradually loses all his battles. The path of concessions leads to unintentional but tragic guilt when, at Campanus's unwitting instigation, the Jesuits seize the child of the executed Jesenius. The difficult post-White Mountain period in the Czech lands presented Campanus with a dilemma: whether to convert or to keep a clear conscience, a conflict of power and honor so common in our history...

Where has Prince Rujan disappeared to? Has he gone to slay a dragon? But where is the dragon? Military veteran Plavák, with the help of the dwarf Trpaja and Princess Aurora, uncovers even more. A Czech Television fairy tale about the victory of love and goodness, but also about the wisdom and mature decisions that the heirs of ruling dynasties come to in their new positions. Prince Rujan of the Kingdom of Arcadia kills the dragon to which the princess of the Principality of Aquitaine was to be sacrificed. We can rejoice that good has triumphed once again, but it won't be that easy. We are at the very beginning of a story in which evil will sometimes prevail and the injustices of the past will come back to haunt the new generation. The old familiar truth that every evil deed will eventually come back to haunt you is reflected in the fate of all fairy-tale heroes.
