Sometimes magic will help on the path to power, sometimes to beauty, but the greatest magic is true love, which will overcome all obstacles, above intrigue and evil... Ondro is well on his way to becoming an acclaimed baker. Princess Anna also has a clear idea of her life, and it is miles away from the wedding with the suitor chosen for her by her uncle Árpád. The greedy wizard Láb does not shy away from anything; a bag of gold would be suitable enough for him, so under pressure from Árpád, he casts a spell on the king himself. What will the kingdom do without a good and just ruler? Will Láb manage to fix what he has ruined with his spells?

A documentary portrait that captures Dušan Hanák in the process of working on a musical-poetic piece consisting of his guitar improvisations and reading personal texts. Through interviews with his former student Marek Šulík and during meetings with various people in iconic places, we learn about the themes and influences that shaped not only his life, but also about the social circumstances that accompanied his creative search and the creation of films. Those realized and not realized.

A dramaturg is present during the writing of the screenplay, but does not write the film. A dramaturg is present on set, but does not direct the film. A dramaturg sits in on the editing process, but does not edit the film. A dramaturg is also involved in many other activities throughout a film’s production, yet performs none of them directly. In this sense, the dramaturg is invisible. The same could be said of the life of the distinguished Czechoslovak dramaturg Jan Gogola, who influenced countless stories throughout his career—including this documentary itself. His portrait is, in fact, being dramaturgically shaped in real time as the film unfolds.
