Prince Mamma’s Boy is the story of a somewhat mature “noble blood” Prince Ludvík Otomar Karel XII (Jan Budař), who has since childhood been strongly dependent on his loving mother (Jana Nagyová). The prince lives in a castle in the midst of luxury and wealth, idles away his time through a wide range of pass-times, and wonders what it would feel like to be a king. His father, King Radomil (Martin Huba), considers the future government of his son with no little trepidation. Prince Ludvík has never in his life been outside the kingdom, shown any interest in marriage, has only ever held a wooden sword and has phobias of horses, insects, hay, the dark and who knows what else.
“Initiation, courage, support from man to man, these are topics that are still current and in the fairytale can be an inspiration not only for new generations of children, but also for adults. The fairytale world does not age and inspires at all times. Prince Mamma’s Boy is visually interesting, with beautiful locations and a great cast”, Jan Budař told FNE.
The main actors are Jana Nagyová, Jan Budař, Veronika Khek Kubařová and Ondřej Vetchý.
