A story of love and wisdom that implies that not only princes can defeat a dragon. A mother tells her sons they'll have a new father, and little Martin has a fairy-tale-like dream about a kingdom which is threatened by an evil dragon. Luckily, clever Martin has got fairy tales literally in his little finger. He advises the king on how to tackle the dragon; it'll require is brother Honza to build a wall, fall in love with the princess, and everyone will be happy... A funny tale proving the saying that "manual labor chases away all sadness". (Zlín Film Festival)
