Summaries

Seven unrelated Czech fairy tales from 1853 by Karel Jaromír Erben, united by folklore, atmosphere, and visuals, form this anthology film exploring themes through a series of poetic vignettes without a cohesive narrative.

Seven seemingly unconnected fairy tales - glued together only by folklore, mood, color and light - make up this Czech collection of visual poetry. The original piece of literature, written by Karel Jaromír Erben in 1853, contained twelve tales.—Len Massaar
