It is quite reminiscent of Forman's first films, with that strangely misused rhythm and the hopeless dreaming of young people about things that are small, yet unattainable. Some of the passages in the contemporary context are shocking given their openness. Špáta reveals a somewhat rotting youth, from which the collective belief in a better tomorrow has disappeared, but it has not yet been replaced by anything but beer, smokey cinemas, motorcycles and nickel-and-dime phrases about happiness.

The sincerity and naivety of youth. In many ways the same as today, and in many ways different. Particularly the part about traveling abroad provokes a gloomy smile. If only they knew... Well, in any case this is outstanding and still has something to say today. Too bad that it’s all jumbled up together; this half-hour documentary seems to have no concrete form or direction.
