Chudák muzika

When three wandering musicians met the Lord of the Forest, they hardly thought of what good it would do them. They certainly began to prosper from that time on. They obtained peas, which made them invisible, and a flask of water, which canceled the spell of invisibility. Before long, they were lucky enough to put these gifts to good use. The sad Princess Joan began to smile again when, with their spells, they forced her royal father not to oppose her marriage to the young man she loved.

Directed by Svatava Simonová, Chudák muzika leans on a strong ensemble — Jiří Sovák, Jiří Bartoška, Jiří Lábus — 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 1981.
