If you loved The Czech Year, try The Emperor's Nightingale
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Jiří Trnka, and they both carry the bittersweet, cozy mood tags, and they sit in Animation / Family territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Czech Year, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Emperor's Nightingale is
A toy empire of gears and glitter gets tangled in its own shimmer. A sick ruler chooses a clockwork songbird over the real deal, until honesty in a feathered form saves the day. A noble fable polished to a sheen that still creaks a little.
