Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Petr Kubík shot the entire film in 18 days with a crew of mostly film students, explaining the DIY aesthetic that critics oddly praised.
The film became a minor phenomenon in Czech cinemas precisely because it competed against Marvel blockbusters with pure local folklore energy — think Czech Ginger Snaps but wholesome.
