A parable for the end of totalitarianism. Three protagonists - a high official, a secretary, and a border guard - representative of three generations (1948, 1968, 1988) are forced to confront their ideals and places in society through the events of one strange night.
The King is very worried. His kingdom is not exactly brimming with wealth, and he has three daughters to marry. So he's going to solve both problems at once. The daughters must find rich grooms. What does it matter that Libenka has fallen in love with a cobbler, Rosie is in love with a gardener and Miládka spends her time with a nice cook. So the princesses go out into the world and the magical grandfather and his gifts help them in their search...
It's just 12 o'clock. And that's the right time to enter a fairy tale. It was also the time when Apolenka got there with her glass ball and was amazed at what she saw. A magician whose magic wand broke and he couldn't do magic, a cook who put vinegar in his cakes instead of milk, a wind that had a cold and a tricky fairy, Thunder, who was on a rampage. But most of all she met the Sun Lady and you will meet her too.
Otakar Vávra dedicated his latest film to events accompanying the devastation of the first World War. It takes place in representative centers of power, in the courts of Vienna, Berlin and Moscow. In parallel, it develops the fate of the Czech archivist, who will take part in the Serbian anti-Austrian branch.
The film tells the exciting life of the great Czech composer Leos Janácek (1854-1928), also known by the thick silver hair that crowned his head and his strong character, which could overcome the adversities of fate.
