Summary

Director Rudolf Růžička made several television films for young audiences, as well as two feature films, namely Správná trefa (Lucky Strike, 1987) and Parta za million (Gang For a Million, 1990). The protagonist of Růžička´s debut is 13-year-old Petr Kantor, whose family moves from the village to the city. However, his new schoolmates are unwilling to accept the talented boy. Petr excels in sports, and also in mathematics. But a climate of intolerance leads to a series of false accusations… This children’s feature serves as a model morality tale, depicting an environment corrupted by greed and xenophobia. Robert Hudecký offers a debut performance in this Gottwaldov Studios (today Zlín) feature. Many other lesser-known or first-time actors also appear; however, several more familiar faces also turn up among the supporting cast, for example Miroslav Donutil and Gabriela Wilhelmová.
