Summary

This 1984 football comedy from director Drahomírá Králová is the first film to feature young actor Filip Blažek. With two successful children’s films already under her belt, this time Králová relates the tale of 11-year-old schoolboy and talented footballer Honza, the star player in a rural youth team. The boy's passion for football experiences a major test when his father is severely injured by drunk-driver Ferenc. A group of boys devises an original way to get back at the local drunkard. Pavel Nový and Lenka Termerová play Honza’s parents in this film intended for youngsters of all ages. Also in their debut performances are two child actors who would go on to become successful film directors – Radim Špaček and Jiří Strach.
