"Tri orísky pro Popelku" tells the story of a young stepdaughter that is forced by her widowed step-mother and her daughters into a life as a house maid. When she receives three magical nuts, she manages to gain access to the king's court and fall in love with the prince, who does what he can to find her after she perishes from the scenery.
Basically this is Cinderella in an Eastern-European adaption from the Seventies. The strong part is that they stick to the original story with only a few minor changes and manage to create a very realistic-seeming impression of the middle ages. You shouldn't expect too many surprises but on the other hand you probably won't be disappointed, either. In Germany this developed into kind of a classic and in any case it is a nice alternative to all the animated versions of the story.
All in all I am probably missing the childhood links to see this as more than very solid work but I do acknowledge the effort and professionality with which this production was carried out and that helps to draw you into a world of fairytale.
