The film is not an adaptation of the famous novel, but an original work based on the satirical script of a famous playwright Grigoriy Gorin. After his adventures are over Baron Munchausen is settled in and wants to marry Martha, the woman he loves. The Church, however, doesn’t grant him permission and his official wife refuses to give him a divorce. Munchausen will be permitted the marriage only if he will give a written certification that all of his stories are lies and that he’s just an ordinary man…—Jacobs University
