Libuše features a narrative focused on a princess who faces challenges regarding her authority as a woman. In her effort to maintain peace, she seeks to find a husband amidst the feuding.

The film is based on Bedřich Smetana’s festival opera, which originally premiered in 1881 at the National Theatre in Prague. This performance commemorates the centenary of the Czechoslovak proclamation of independence, linking it to significant historical events.
