Background

The script was written in the politically relaxed year of 1968, and therefore may have included lines that were considered politically incorrect at the time. The screenwriter Vratislav Blažek came from the countryside and incorporated some of his own experiences into the film. The film was completed in 1969, before the start of strict censorship, but Blažek had to flee abroad before filming began. The film premiered on 10 October 1969.

The film was directed by Zdeněk Podskalský. It is a film that made him famous and often is considered his best film. Podskalský was aware that, due to the impending normalization in Czechoslovakia, this was the last film he could make freely without censorship interference, and he left the actors free to improvise.
