• Three Nuts for Cinderella (Tři oříšky pro Popelku)

  <p>An annual holiday tradition in many European countries, and now at the National Czech &amp; Slovak Museum &amp; Library,&nbsp;<em>Three Nuts for Cinderella</em> is a familiar fairytale with some unique twists.

Cinderella does not simply fall into the prince’s arms, however. In this version, he must actively pursue the young woman – who is a skilled sharpshooter prone to wearing hunting outfits. Cinderella also has three wish-granting magic hazelnuts at her disposal and an owl for a “fairy godmother.” Will the prince win her over in the end?</p><p>Snacks and coffee provided.</p><p>This film is in Czech with English subtitles. 83 minutes, 1973.</p> 2019-10-23 14:30:00 -0500
