About O ptáku Ohniváku
A modern retelling of Erben's fairy tale from 1980 tells the story of a prince who failed to look after an apple tree from which golden apples were disappearing. So he has to set out on a journey to find the thief - the Firebird. On his journey, he has many adventures and finally realizes that there are more important values in life than material ones. He is helped by his love for a red-haired princess, who teaches him to unlearn pride and helps him find a new relationship with life. The prince stops overestimating grandeur and wealth and discovers that the most important values in life are sincere human relationships.
Directed by Libuše Koutná, O ptáku Ohniváku leans on a strong ensemble — Ivan Luťanský, Vladimír Ráž, Veronika Freimanová — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about family titles of 1980.
