The protagonists of this spooky comedy are two 12-year-old children seeking treatment in a natural cave for their allergies caused by the worsening environment within an industrial city. The kids discover a secret cache of spray cans stolen from a boxcar and wage a bitter and eventually winning fight against three evil chlorofluorocarbon ghosts who enjoy the delicacies provided by the spray cans in the secret cave storehouse...

"The sun shines on the earthly paradise, for it is full of beauty..." Childhood love endures, and The Freon Ghost remains a beautifully charming film even after all these years; I’m deliberately not going to write fairy tale or fairy tale comedy. I love without exaggeration the scene in which the song mentioned at the beginning of the commentary plays, and I am very glad that such a film was made. For some people it may be too moralizing and uninteresting, for others it is at least thought-provoking and hopefully also an inspiring work with the great Vlastimil Brodský (who are we kidding - without him it would be meaningless). Svoboda's perfect music. Three and a half stars rounded up.
