The Story
Original title: Šťastný smolař
Young Filip is cursed with terrible luck ever since his father dared to outwit Lady Fortune herself, and to make matters worse, Filip falls hopelessly in love with Fortune’s daughter, Hanička. Determined to win her heart and break his family’s jinx, he embarks on a fantastical journey around the world, where an unlikely alliance with a compulsive liar named Kdokoliv (“Anybody”) becomes his only hope in the struggle for Hanička’s love.
