A tragicomic story about Lady Poverty who unmistakably and without any hesitation catches one lazy fellow after another. However, she is helpless when she comes across a diligent and work-loving fellow. Poverty simply cannot be destroyed but can be defeated. (official distributor synopsis)

Well, a harmful/less fairytale or: how the dutiful socialist working class defeated a lazy capitalist with work without losing heart. As a bonus for film buffs, there is a bonus study on “small-minded Czechism" in the form of a servant who served to the very end. Or simply a beautifully made and stylized fairytale with a moral, which after all these years I have begun to confuse with Mean Barka.
