The youngest of them is courted by the dangerous pirate Za Bié Ocradé and the orphan George, who has been entrusted with this task by his master Prince Honorad.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This is based on 'The Twelve Dancing Princesses' by the Brothers Grimm, but Czech filmmakers added the pirate rival because apparently Europe needed more eyeliner villains.
Director Ivan Pokorný is better known for TV work; this rare theatrical outing captures that distinctly Czech approach to fairy tales — slightly odd, deeply sincere, and nobody's apologizing for the budget.
