Based on the story Punished Pride by Bozena Nemcova, the movie is directed by Radek Beran (The Little Man) and David Lisy (Spy Cat).
Synopsis: Time has come for young and handsome King Benjamin to find a wife. When presented the portrait of beautiful princess Carolina, he is so enchanted that in return he sends his portrait to her, but spoiled and proud princess Carolina selfishly rejects him. King Benjamin decides to win her over and, disguised as a gardener, manages to work at her castle.
He finds out that the princess was once happy and kind, and with the help of music and flowers, she falls for him. When her counselors, eager to remain in power, found her a weak prince to marry, Carolina and Benjamin hastily flee together. The many obstacles they face in their escape will bring them closer. However, Benjamin will still have to reveal the truth, but love and happiness will prevail.
