Plot
The king’s daughter, known as the insensitive princess, must find a husband. The rule is simple: any prince who can make her show emotion will win her hand. Many princes try, putting on grand displays of skill and artistry, but the princess never reacts, only looking puzzled. The princes grow frustrated. Then a schoolboy prince arrives at the palace theater carrying a large heart. He has guessed that the princess is nearsighted. He gives her a pair of glasses, and for the first time she can see the performances clearly. Delighted, she laughs and is won over. Everyone celebrates.
