Yes, this is really a technical concert, something totally knew to czech cinematography. The finnish cameraman and editor created strong image sequences which constantly change in speed, focus, color and grain. Perception of the city of Prague differs significantly from anything shot before. However the film lacks something which would make me rate it as perfect: The script is quite poor. The characters act unnaturally, say weird "wise" things and the main character Sylva 's behaviour develops in the ind into some strange decisions which are hard or even impossible to understand. Due to its technical qualities the movie is really worth seeing, though.

interesting...real

I can really recommend it! It's like story of me or my friend, real...I like the graphics, colors, speed of movie. This is real beautiful Prague what I like. not like in other movies, old and static.. It doesn't seem like typical Czech film, it can be from everywhere - BUT who knows this City, will recognize common things and situation in a new view. And also, amazing main character Sylva.. i can believe her everything - i understand her need to be alive, partying, playing on one side and being secured in the future by traditional values like a marriage on the other side. It seems to be crazy, but our generation is still influenced by our parents in spite we're free, living alone, but... Anyway here is a lot of movies about young people in the Czech Republic, in almost everyone is shown a character, grotesque loser, who can't find way to live. Finally, film which is not black&white view.
Its fresh and wonderful

I'm so grateful for this movie! This is the best Czech movie for last 5 years. It's so fresh, dynamic,attractive,exciting,cool,smart. And you don't have to be Czech to understand it! It a simple story about feelings.It really took me! Wonderful actors, night Prague {night life in clubs}, amazing pictures {it's really plays with light}, brilliant music, wonderful atmosphere! The story is about a young couple, really in love, enjoy live, goes to party's. One early morning Silva just wont to make a joke to Martin and tells him, she is sleeping with his brother for half a year...and when she comes back to home, found it empty...she have just one day to fix it. It's something like Lola rent... JUST GO AND SEE IT, I Recommend IT
