The capricious princess did not want to choose a groom from among the best contenders-princes. The angry king, who was tired of his daughter’s antics, promised to marry her to the first person he met, albeit a beggar. Hearing this, one of the rejected suitors dressed as a poor man and was thus the first to meet: he wanted to teach an unbearable pride.
Life lessons were harsh, but at the end of the story, the re-educated princess was waiting for a reward – the love and loyalty of her chosen one.

In the graphic decision, artists were guided by the ancient Greek monuments, first of all - vase paintings, stylized for them and characters, and decorations, up to imitation cracks.

The film ends with documentary shots of the opening of the Olympics-80 in Moscow. close
