• Other information:

  The film was created as a project of 10- to 18-year-old students of the ZUŠ, which was interrupted twice due to the effects of the pandemic, and its creation thus lasted for three years. All professions, including animation, but also sound recording and music composition, were performed by the children themselves (the music was even composed by 10-year-old Eliška Divínová and her composition was only musically arranged so that the children could record it).
