The Proud Princess

The beautiful but very proud Princess Krasomila, daughter of ruler of the Midnight Kingdom, has refused to marry the noble king Miroslav, who has asked for her hand. But he sets off to her native kingdom and, in disguise, works at the castle as a gardener. The princess falls in love with him and, under his influence, gradually stops all of her capriciousness. The two lovers run away together, but the royal emissaries soon catch them. The reformed Krasomila also uncovers the gardener's true identity and ultimately accepts his offer of marriage. The first Czechoslovak film fairytale for children was filmed according to one of the most beautiful fairytales by Božena Němcová - Pride Punished. (Zlín Film Festival)
