User review:

If you want to put the scope on the Czech countryside life, and witness the lives of some weird people, this movie would be classified as a perfect documentary for you. What I like about it is that it feels very Czech as it’s supposed to, as someone has mentioned earlier on a comment here. But then again, you can see that it’s the first professional work of a good amount of the cast, and unfortunately it’s not hard to spot when you watch it.
