“It was a huge cut in the lives of both of us,” says actor Vojtěch Kotek twenty years after filming the comedy Snowboarders. “We both experienced the same impact and one had to deal with it somehow,” adds his fellow actor and director Jiří Mádl about how the film affected their teenage lives at the time. Where have they moved since then? And what do their generation consider to be essential topics and how much do they value freedom?
