A fairy tale comedy with music about an unsuccessful (because cultured) robber's son named Ruffiano who falls in love with the exotic foreign princess Sweeteeth. Screenwriter Zdeněk Svěrák combined motifs FROM two classic Karel Čapek's fairy tales INTO a cleverly entertaining children's spectacle. (official distributor synopsis)
