After her father, the great chieftain Krok (Ivo NovÃ¡k) dies, the tribes of the Bohemian forests elect his youngest daughter LibuÅ¡e (Winter Ave Zoli) as their new ruler. Together with her two beautiful sisters, the healer Kazi (Veronika BellovÃ¡) and the priestess Teta (Vera Filatova) and an army of women under the command of her best friend, the Amazon Vlasta (Lea Mornar), LibuÅ¡e guides her people with the power of her visionary abilities. A seer by nature, she can travel into the Otherworld, the land of the death, from where she returns with predictions of the future and answers for people in need.
During her reign Libuse envisions the city of Prague at the Vltava river, starts mining in the rich Bohemian mountains and helps her farmers to fight a deadly plague. She also starts a secret affair with the charismatic ploughman PÅemysl (Csaba Lucas).
When the peaceful community of farmers is under attack by raiders and split into different parties of power hungry landowners under the guidance of their plotting chieftains Domaslav (Pavel KrÃ­z) and Vrsovec (Marek VaÅ¡ut), LibuÅ¡e is eventually forced into marriage by her own people. Desperate she elects PÅemysl to become her husband and king. Soon PÅemysl takes over the new kingdom and rules with an iron fist, enslaving the formerly free farmers.
But LibuÅ¡e's friend Vlasta, who loves her since childhood, refuses to follow the new leader and with her maiden army declares war on the men of Bohemia. After Vlasta kills Ctirad [Mirek HrabÃ©), a popular warrior and blinds Domaslav, PÅemysl meets Vlasta in a showdown and kills her. At the same time LibuÅ¡e gives birth to his son Nezamysl.
The film ends with LibuÅ¡e diving into the river Vltava which symbolizes her becoming a legend.
