Jana M @RT29465884 03/19/2024 This is an absolute czech classic. A comedic fairy tail with some references to actual historical people and places which charms people of all ages. The costumes, the music, the humor, the characters and the intertwining plot lines are just fabulous. Beware there are 2 parts (roughly translated to "The emperor's baker" and "The baker's emperor"), so you have to start from the correct one (the one that starts with the baker). ;) In total it's around 2.5 hours.
