The Treasure

The story begins in a small town, where preparations are being made for the theater play The Treasure which tells the story of a local legend of a huge treasure hidden deep underground; many set off to find it, but none ever return. The performers include the two sisters Kathy and Barbra, as well as the musician Jake, Barbra´s boyfriend. The theme of the play appeals to the greedy lord of the chateau, Bořivoj. And somewhere underground, at the real treasure, sit its three guards - killing time thinking up various amusements, which does not please the Ruler of the Underworld. His patience runs out when the bored guards interfere with human fates - on a wager over the fate of the love between Jake and Barbra. A series of misunderstandings lead to a dangerous expedition of three treasure seekers - Barbra, Jake and lord Bořivoj. (Zlín Film Festival)
