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.

🎬 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
