A fairy tale based on motifs taken from Josephine tales. Like Josef II, the fictitious emperor Maxmilián often disappears from the castle in disguise in order to find out how his vassals live. On one of these 'trips' he meets a drummer returning home from his stint in the army. They live through various adventures together, meeting bandits as well as human foolishness and perfidiousness which almost leads them to the scaffold.

Wow! Such a good movie.
Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
