This witty and charming, Pop-Art fairy tale featuring Czech pop-cultural icons, singers Helena Vondrácková and Václav Neckár in the lead roles as The Insanely Sad Princes Helena and the prince Václav in disguise, is a typical representative of Czech genre filmmaking.—Gulsen Gecim

The main thought of the movie is that the normal guy, who is "just a worker" for a king (who is trying his best to make his daughter smile), by being nice to princess. She falls in love with him and this kind of love makes her to feel alive again.—danielakrenova
