Summary
Seasoned director Jiří Hanibal, in tandem with equally proven screenwriter Jaroslav Dietl (although he mostly worked in TV), created this comedy for a young audience in 1975. It also promoted the Spartakiad, the socialist-period mass gymnastics event. It is such a gathering that provides the backdrop for the story of 15-year-old twins, one of whom goes through the thrills and spills of a first romance whilst in Prague. Outgoing Jana leaves the northern Bohemian city of Děčín for Prague to perform at the Spartakiad. Her sister Anna travels along secretly in an attempt to find an opportunity to apologise to her boyfriend Ondra. The lead roles in the film were performed by non-professional actresses, namely twins Hana and Alena Holcátová. Vladimír Dlouhý took on the role of the enamoured youth. Experienced actors Luděk Munzar and Milena Dvorská lend some persuasiveness to this otherwise rather tendentious film.
