About the film distribution
The sculptures of children displayed in the studio were created by Marie Uchytilová (1924–1989). They were meant as a tribute to the eighty two children from the village of Lidice who were murdered during the Second World War. The artist worked on them from 1969 until her death, but only in the form of plaster models. Due to the lack of funding and the authorities´ ignorance, the sculptures were cast in bronze one by one thanks to donations only as late as between 1995 and 2000, i. e. long after the artist´s death. The group sculpture was, however, eventually installed in Lidice.
