Perinbaba: Two Realms is the 2023 sequel of the 1985 Czechoslovak fairy tale movie The Feather Fairy. It is the final movie of the Slovak director Juraj Jakubisko. The movie was in making for over ten years. The premiere was repeatedly delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and eventually took place in December 2023, nine months after Jakubisko's death.[1]
Lukáš, a young man with a little dog, seeking happiness and joy, embarks on a journey into the world. His godmother, the celestial being Perinbaba, watches over him. He arrives late to the fairytale land of abundance where Perinbaba guides him. The once prosperous kingdom is now cursed. The magical ram has vanished, and where cakes once grew on trees, ignorance, fear, and apprehension now reign.
Courageous and determined, Lukáš vows to break the curse. However, he is ultimately forced to choose between what his heart desires most: wealth or love.[2]
