One of the film stories based on the old Prague legends. This one is about the old master clock maker Hanus who construed the Prague Old Town horologe. Master Hanus'clock started working for the first time in 1490 but did not tell the time for too long. Soon the master, blinded by the perfidious town councillors, stopped it for more than 200 years.

Thanks to artistically successful puppets, lighting, and colorful styling, an impressive animated film about the pride of Prague councilors who killed the creator of the Prague Astronomical Clock. The dark character of the film is underlined by the use of a choir and musical motif. Overall impression: 80%.
