A French fairy tale about Janek the Boaster tells the story of a young boy who would like to set out into the world and become a general. However, his father is against it, no one believes him, and everyone sees him only as a braggart. But Janek does not give up—he tries his luck anyway. Yet in the wider world, he faces various traps and dangers.
Janek may like to boast, but he is also brave, kind, and true to his word. And when he meets a kind and beautiful princess in prison, he has even more reason to prove to his father that he can succeed. With the princess’s help, he defeats a bandit, makes the devils dance, and in the end everyone must admit that he deserves to win the princess’s hand.
