Dívčí válka

Just about everyone knows Jirásk's Old Czech legends. However, not everything that was taught at school and what Alois Jirásek wrote must be true.

The author himself says about this comedy: "I wrote Girl's War - so to speak - "tailored" for the Czech nation, it is mainly about his style of humor and the areas it touches on (eroticism, politics). In addition, it is a relaxing genre in which we bring a selection of the most beautiful women that our impoverished homeland has. I always say with a bit of exaggeration - this is how God compensates his dear Czechs for their failures in the market economy. The success of the Girl's War is evidenced by the filled halls all over our republic."

The plot of the historical comedy begins quite unusually for a gaiety, namely with the funeral of Princess Libuša. Due to technical difficulties with the realization of the funeral act on stage, it takes place outside the viewer's field of vision, and the actual plot then begins with a conversation between Prince Přemysl and Vladyka Bivoj, who is returning from the funeral. Prince Přemysl, vacillating between grief at the loss of his beloved woman and joy at his newly acquired freedom, becomes the target of attacks by the ambitious widow Vlasta, who manages to use the girls' insecurity and fear of taking part in public life to her personal advantage and her ambition to take the place of Princess Libuša. With her temperament and passion, Prince Přemysl has absolutely no intention of joining Vlasta in the new marriage union, his erotic-aesthetic attention turns more to the charming Kazi, Libuša's sister, who, unfortunately, had already joined her life with the brave lord Bivoj and his inseparable boar. The honest but amorous Kazi hesitates between the two individuals, i.e. between her husband and the prince, until she finally decides to compromise, i.e. with both great men lays the foundation for classic marital infidelity, surviving to the present day.
