Film from the lives of college students is the first film in Czech cinematography which touches (of course discreetly, tactfully and seriously) the topic of homosexuality. This topic was a taboo during the communist era. Moreover, it was one of the first films which tried to describe the intensive atmosphere of the Velvet revolution in 1989.
