Hejkal

Hejkal (1978) is a fantasy, family film directed by Pavel Kraus.

Fairy tales are full of fairies who would like to become humans. There probably won't be that many Hejkals who want to turn into humans. We only know of one from "The Doctor's Fairy Tale" who was pushed into the human world by the writer Karel Čapek. That Hejkal then found great success as a singer at the Vienna Opera. However, we recently learned that a Hejkal in South Bohemia is drawn to humans and wants to give up his Hejkal craft. Let's go see him.
