Dorotka is a poor orphan who works as a shepherdess for rich farmers. Their mischievous son often torments her. One day, he chases a goose away from her pasture. While searching for it, Dorotka meets an old woman who not only punishes the mischievous man, but also gives her 3 gifts: a magic wand, a jug of spring water, and a ring made of grass. Dorotka can only give these gifts to the person she loves the most. And she gradually gives them to the good young king, who has helped her and others, but somehow cannot help himself - he cannot find a bride himself. With the help of the old woman and the miraculous gifts, she finally becomes the one who deserves it most - the shepherdess Dorotka.
Directed by Ján Chlebík, Husiarka a kráľ leans on a strong ensemble — Petra Vančíková, Michal Dočolomanský, Marta Černická-Bieliková — 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 1983.
