“We were sorry that the footage from the filming with the Czech Radio Symphony Orchestra was not used in the documentary, along with many other scenes. I am therefore glad that at least some of them were very aptly incorporated into this clip by director Jakub Sommer and editor Šárka Sklenářová. I am grateful that we can lift the spirits of my husband’s fans at least a little at such an uncertain time with the video for the opening song Go for Happiness. I firmly believe that it will be fine again soon, so accept this gift from us and Karel as a hope for better times, “added Gottová.
