Emperor Rudolf II is more interested in art, beautiful women, and alchemy than in ruling. Most of all, he wants to get the elixir of youth and find the legendary Golem. As he focuses on his hobbies, the supreme courtiers, led by chamberlain Lang, join Rudolph's brother Matyas, who seeks the throne. Due to a mistaken identity, the baker Matěj Kotrba becomes the ruler; he looks very similar to the emperor, just twenty-five years younger. He will deal with the prominent courtiers, issue useful orders, and use the Golem to benefit everyone. (Zlín Film Festival)
