Briefly on new fairy tales: “How Giants Died Out in Sumava Mountains” features a news-reel unit hike in the woods of Sumava in order to discover if giants, who play the ancient “who's bigger”game, really live there or not. The fairy tale “The Hat With a Jaybird Feather” sees the King have three sons but summon only two for no one takes Honza seriously. It's because high up in the mountains, the king forgot his hat with the jaybird feather and now, when he grew old, finds himself missing it. Trails to the mountains are mazy and the question is: will prince Rychlomil's Bugasseratti or royal son's Siloslav's Bull-Digger Special make it? Or maybe, will it be Honza's scooter after all? And is it likely for a king's son to become an absolute world champion of all races and categories? The longest fairy tale “Reason and Luck” solves the cardinal question: can you live without one or the other? When the two fellas (Mr. Reason and Mr. Luck) set a bet, the one who's to decide about their essentiality is a dull shepherd Ludvik. (official distributor synopsis)
