Synopsis
Girl in Blue / Divka v modrem
Many local dignitaries are gathered at an auction organized by the notary Dr Jan Karas (Oldrich Novy) at Lucin castle to sell off the belongings of the late count. Most interest is aroused by a portrait of a beautiful noble girl, but no-one buys it because it is said to be cursed. Until the young count arrives to decide what to do with the portrait, Karas keeps it at home. Fascinated by the beauty of the girl, Karas spends hours in front of the portrait. Then one day he kisses it and the girl (Lida Baarova) comes to life and steps out of the picture. The girl introduces herself as countess Blanka of Blankenberg, and has no intention of getting back into the canvas.
