Given the tradition of Czech historical films and television dramas, I understand that contemporary historical television films still need to find their audience. The historical genre has always been a matter of funding or official policy. We were accustomed to grand films produced by the State Film with more or less hidden propaganda, and to cheap productions with excellent dialogues and zero budgets. This film represents a new intersection; for television standards, it is a film of unprecedented production value, and likewise, for television standards, it is a film with an exceptionally good script. The style is new, the subject matter remains sensitive, and the television viewer feels uncertain about what they are watching. They don't understand because they expected something different. But that's how it often is with pioneers.
