Fates come to the castle with predictions as to the future of little Prince Leopold. Leopold is to marry Josephine, daughter of the neighboring king. But it's hate at first sight and they look for a way to stop their wedding. They steal magical watches from the Fates, which take them back to the time of the Prince's birth and they prevent his divinations. Upon their return, they realize what they've done to themselves and to the kingdom. (Zlín Film Festival)

English Time travel is a concept I always find appealing in movies, so this fairy tale won me over with its premise alone. That twist made it easier to overlook some of the overly childish humor that occasionally felt like a throwback to 90s TV movies. The main duo was a bit hit or miss — Anna Fialová was great, but Marek Adamczyk (despite my general fondness for him) came off as too grating for a prince. Overall, it was a decent bit of holiday relaxation, but not something I’d rush to watch again. A typical Karel Janák fairy tale. ()
