Summary
Working with a motif and script provided by Daniela Fischerová, seasoned director Ota Koval made a film for teenage audiences where the protagonist is 14-year old Klárka Králová. The gifted pianist is accepted into the conservatory in Prague and her mother finds a job in the city. After Klárka manages to break an arm, she is in for one last – and unforgettable – summer holiday in her native Liberec before moving to the capital. There is the house painter apprentice Štěpán, as well as arguing between her parents who hold clashing views on the Prague move. The lead role in this 1986 title was played by Lucie Tomková, who also went on to appear in Koval’s family comedy Uf-oni jsou tady (The Aliens Are Here!, 1988). David Novotný appeared as Štěpán in a film debut that led to a successful career. The roles of Klárka’s parents were entrusted to Petr Čepek and Evelyna Steimarová, whose mother Jiřina played the girl’s grandmother.
