The Brave Blacksmith

Mikeš is a strong brave young blacksmith with a good heart and, like his father, longs to see the world. On his journey he befriends two young strongmen, a miller's assistant named Matěj and a groom named Ondra. They soon learn that three beautiful princesses have mysteriously disappeared. Mikeš convinces his friends to look for the lost royal daughters. They learn that the princess have been kidnapped by the evil Black King. Mikeš outwits an ugly old witch and exchanges her torn whiskers for her help, liberating two of the three princesses. The fight to save the third and most beautiful princess, however, will be much more difficult. (Zlín Film Festival)
