The film reveals an uncompromising faith in humanity - especially when recognizing its innumerable failings - and an enthusiastic personal belief in cinema as an inexhaustible form of expression and experience."

The film had its world premiere at Jihlava IDFF. The film is a coproduction with Atelier.doc (Slovakia) www.atelierdoc.sk and supported by the Slovak Audiovisual Fund (www.avf.sk )
