Production

The film was shot in Prague, Bratislava, and Vysoké Tatry and in Germany. The scenes in Karl-Marx-Stadt (now Chemnitz) were filmed in today's Chemnitz (Karl Marx Monument) and in Dresden (the Heinz-Steyer-Stadion was used as the film set for the stadium in Karl-Marx-Stadt). Judit Bárdos and Eva Josefíková went through athletic training for six months prior to filming, in order to be able to perform the running scenes realistically.

The title song was recorded by Miro Žbirka in the London Abbey Road Studios.
