A family film in which the words love, friendship, and family still havent lost their meaning. After the tragic death of his parents, thirteen-year-old Libor lives with his wealthy aunt and uncle. Theyre a career-minded couple who try to use their affluent lifestyle as compensation for a lack of love and time. But their very wealth attracts a pair of amateur kidnappers. In a flash Libor is violently pulled from the luxury of nouveau riche Prague with its fancy houses, snobbish dinner parties, chauffeurs, and private schools to the terror of fighting for his life. Thus begins a miserable adventure that deprives him of everything, even his name. But then out of nowhere Libor finds himself part of a family that seems to understand him and is able to provide the love he so greatly needs but would never have dared hope for. Iva Procházková wrote the script based on her novel of the same name. This award-winning book has found favour at home in the Czech Republic as well as in Denmark, Germany, and The Netherlands. It is currently being translated into several other languages.
