Hungarian Folk Tales: The Daradevil Dancer

The old king announces that he marries that girl who can spin gold thread from tow. A pock-marked, aged and lame girl manages to do it with the help of a devil but she must promise that she will be his woman both physically and spiritually a year later unless she finds out his name up to that time. The king marries the girl willy-nilly and they are becoming friends but the queen is getting sad more and more. Fortunately the king accidentally learns the devil’s name. But the queen does not escape after all and she turns into tar together with the devil.

The Hungarian Folktales stem from original folktale collections, every episode has its special authentic ornamentation. The makers used the decorative art of a certain countryside region at each episode. The trio of folk art, folk music and folk tales are masterfully combined in the episodes, which have unique imagery, sometimes spicy folk humor in the dialogues. Thanks to the natural presentation of the storytellers, and the music of the Kaláka band, the viewer can experience something unique and special.
