What happens
A Jester's Tale (Czech: Bláznova kronika) is a 1964 Czech film directed by Karel Zeman. Described by Zeman as a "pseudo-historical" film, it is an anti-war black comedy set during the Thirty Years' War. The film combines live action with animation to suggest the artistic style of the engraver Matthäus Merian. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
