Copying videos illegally on a mass scale is one thing, but making a marketable product out of them is quite another. Just think of the most basic problem: language – your average customer won’t be a polyglot! The answer to that problem all over Central and Eastern Europe was a practice called rychlodabing, or speed dubbing in Czech, which consisted of one sole actor voicing all characters, with the original voices usually still audible beneath. This is how millions of people in the ČSSR encountered many forms of cinema for the first time in the 1980s, and how many foreign words became lodged (in a corrupted fashion) in everyday language. Some expressions (often curse words) were born. That’s popular culture at its liveliest. Video Kings is an oral history monument to the art of rychlodabing and some of its masters, as well as a collective reminiscence from a time of political transformation, and how ordinary people were agents of that change in extraordinary ways.

When Jonáš, a water sprite, and Karolínka, the miller's daughter, fall in love, they don't have it easy. Jonáš's father, the grumpy water sprite Hastrbuch, stands in the way of his love, while Karolínka has no idea that her beloved Jonáš is not human. Luckily, there is a young man named Libor who will do anything to protect the whole village, and especially Karolínka, from the water sprite villain. So what if he has to scheme and lie? The main thing is that he can get Karolínka to reject Jonáš and choose him, the brave Libor, instead.
An interesting attempt at a postmodern crazy comedy with elements of parody. The plot turns on the search for the recipe of a liqueur made by the film’s financial backer.
