Synopsis
Four new fairy tales “for clever children and clever adults” from the much loved book by Jan Werich. Břetislav Pojar presents Tom Thumb, a picturesque story full of twists and adventures; Aurel Klimt brings three similar brothers to life in Hunchbacks from Damascus, a work which evokes the atmosphere of the Near East and an oriental narrative style; in Three Sisters and One Ring, Vlasta Pospíšilová employs a rustic instruction manual `a la The Decameron – how to fool a husband out of a ring; and Jan Balej allows brothers Marek and Kouba to explain a natural phenomenon and to relive the age-old fairy tale about envy and devils in The Sea, Uncle, Why is it Salty?
