About This Movie

Kdyby byly rybi is an interesting mix of comedy and family themes, set in this once-thriving Kingdom of Three Ponds. The film has a quirky charm, really capturing that sense of whimsical despair as the curse takes hold, leaving the waters barren. You feel the tension in the court—every character feels like they’re scheming for something, especially that trickster Nikdáš with his magical rod. The practical effects give it a unique visual style that pairs nicely with the lighthearted yet poignant atmosphere. It’s an intriguing commentary on greed and ambition, wrapped in a story about family and community. The pacing is a bit off at times, but it adds to the film's oddball charm.
