Emperor Charles IV bans women from his impregnable Karlštejn Castle during a royal council. Yet his own decree is defied by young Alenka, disguised as a page to meet her beloved, the knight Purkrab. Within the castle walls, state affairs intertwine with romantic entanglements, while musical numbers and comedic turns transform this medieval tale into a light and elegant farce, proving that not even an emperor is immune to the whims of the heart.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
This 1974 Czech musical is a virtuoso blend of genres, where history breathes with genuine mirth rather than cardboard pomp. The film deftly balances sitcom humor with musical fantasy, never missing a beat.
What lingers after the final chord is the charm of a chamber piece, a warm and surprisingly cozy journey to the past, where every playful verse and mock-serious glance compose a single tune of carefree delight. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Zdeněk Podskalský

Festive bustle of a medieval castle, interlaced with melodies and the rustle of gowns.
