A film about coming of age, dreaming, and a first great but forbidden love. In this poetic story of the relationship between the kind-hearted, somewhat naïve postman Jakub and the beautiful Roma girl Jolanka, the untamed world of playful imagination collides with the sober pragmatism of everyday life—one to which the rosy dreams of both protagonists must ultimately yield. This movie by director Dušan Hanák and writer Dušan Dušek, filled with gentle humor, was warmly received by both critics and audiences at home and abroad.
