Jan Minář

The hero of this popular fairy tale is a young prince who, after the death of his parents, goes out into the world. During his travels he meets a magical talking horse and falls in love with the beautiful princess Slavna. On the advice of his horse, he binds one eye and pretends to be dumb and enters into service as the castle gardener.

Set in a vagabond and petty bourgeois environment, the three stories deal with the pitfalls of love, the petty and insidious betrayals of trust.
