Kralova's documentary uniquely combines Jan Kapr's archival materials with a new operatic libretto, illustrating his struggles and triumphs in a transformative narrative.
The film explores Kapr's journey from a staunch supporter of the communist party to a disillusioned artist seeking distance from his past, highlighting the ideological shifts.
Using water imagery symbolically, Kralova intertwines visuals and lyrics creatively, showcasing the contrast between the choir's stark presentation and Kapr's vibrant home recordings.
Adamek's libretto serves as a structural backbone but, at times, overemphasizes narrative at the expense of a deeper exploration of Kapr's own musical legacy.
