Plots(1)

The protagonists of this well-known tale from Fimfárum by Jan Werich are the stingy Barka and other citizens of Dejvice where nothing is given but everything is stolen and envied. Stingy Barka is more a modern story than a classic fairy-tale. Like all of Werich's fairy-tales, this one is also full of humour and wisdom. (Anifilm)
