Based on the classic Czech novel by Vladislav Vančura, this is a film rhapsody about medieval captors and the fallen daughter of a landowner. A story of pure soul and pure love in the middle of the cold and ruthless Middle Ages. A key work of Czech cinema by František Vláčil, who worked on it for seven years. Even after 50 years that have passed since its creation, the film manages to enchant and captivate all who have the opportunity to see it.
