Family Theatre Hans and the Dragon

Princess Filia receives an unusual gift from her father for her sixteenth birthday. Instead of a gold chain, a horse or a carriage, he has the towers of the castle covered with diamonds, rubies and other sparkling gems. The dragon who lives beyond the horizon loves all that sparkle. He comes to the castle, chases everyone away and captures Princess Filia in a tower room. No one can free her … until Hans appears.
