This is what you get from the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague. A graduate making a film from the conservatory environment at a summer camp. Unbelievable. While the previous Slobodanka film was practically unseen and it didn't come out on anything, and the book is still lying around somewhere, this is again a late example from the family of false nostalgia. Thanks for another useless movie about today's youth. There are lots of missed opportunities here. Good riddance.

As a musical tribute to Green Gold or as a film about rehearsing a play, the film fails in its entirety and can only be accepted as a Czech variation on contemporary dance films such as Let´s Dance, with which it shares a weak plot and a number of music and dance scenes, but which are quite successful for Czech standards. However, with the exception of the songs, almost nothing is associated with the cult hit Green Gold - if the students were rehearsing something else, it wouldn't matter, and nothing would have to change in the story. And what’s worse, the film shows terribly little of the rehearsals and nothing of the final performance in front of the audience. Good films of this type are based on a detailed demonstration of training, where we watch the protagonists toil and make mistakes, and in the end we wonder if they will be able to perform live without mistakes, and we are moved when they are successful. This isn't the case here at all.
