Summary
A fairytale satire from the present day, Three Wishes was the fourth film directed by Ján Kadár - Elmar Klos. The screenplay was written by playwright Vratislav Blažek. The film, pointing out the shortcomings that prevented the smooth running of socialist society, ended up being banned and put in the "vault" after a harsh condemnation at the First Festival of Czech and Slovak Films in Banská Bystrica in 1959, and the two filmmakers were able to return to directing only in the 1960s, when they made, among others, the Oscar-winning The Shop on the Waterfront.
