The story, set in 1968, the year of the Prague Spring and the Soviet invasion, features a planned escape to the West and the arrest of one of its central characters for desertion from the army. The main couple, Tereza and Šimon, struggles to enjoy the free spirit of the times in spite of the turbulent political circumstances.
The musical, written by Filip Renč and Zdeněk Zelenka, was first produced as a film in 2001. The cast included Zuzana Norisová (as Tereza), Jan Révai (as Šimon) and Tomáš Hanák (as Tereza's father).
Norisová, in alternation with Zdenka Trvalcová and Zuzana Vejvodová, also appeared in a stage version, that opened at Prague's Broadway Theatre in September 2003. The role of Šimon was alternated by Zbyněk Fric, Martin Písařík and Ján Slezák.
The soundtrack was released by Supraphon. It is the highest selling soundtrack album ever in the Czech Republic, as well as the second best selling album in the country between 1994 and 2006.[2] The album is also the highest-selling album in the country in 2001 with 120,000 copies sold.[3]
