Director Václav Křístek's fairy tale presenting the story of philanthropic Emperor Maxmilián. He goes out to live among simple folk dressed as an ordinary groom, and meets up with a former drummer who is in love with the daughter of the local knacker. A crafty administrator makes a false accusation and the two friends are threatened with a bit of injustice: they are about to be executed. But this is a fairy tale and, of course, it all comes out right in the end. (official distributor synopsis)

This film, at the time of its release, went through distribution without much attention, and tellingly, out of nearly two hundred reviewers to date, no one found it worth a few lines of commentary. The basic problem is the film's ordinariness and inconspicuousness, which stems from an average, underdeveloped script. It's not an outright bad film, Ondřej Vetchý still has charisma even in this role, but it's simply a one-time watch that you won't remember the next day. Overall impression: 50% - mainly thanks to the well-composed music with Baroque motifs.
