Pacala is an important hero in Romanian popular tradition. He is smart and always makes fun of everything ridiculous about people like stupidity, greed, vanity. Sometimes these people's treats are putting Pacala in all sorts of dangerous situations, but being in connection with the nature, with joy, love for the life and the whole world, he finds ways to prevail. Besides the jokes, the movie manages to express a certain mindset of easiness and free spirit. Filmed in a very beautiful part of Romania in 1974, the movie had an important success at that time and is considered one of the most loved movies in Romania ever.
Like the hero, found in many folk stories and jokes, the movie forwards the spirit of happiness, freedom and pure connection with the nature, forgetting about times and governments.
