Little Ice-Hockey Player

Directed by Josef Pinkava

With Zdeněk Komínek, Pavel Ročeň, Roman Richter, Jiří Guryča and Jana Havlová

Hockey requires great commitment and even sacrifice from an early age. The thirteen-year-old players of a school hockey team, led by an experienced and perceptive coach, struggle with various problems of their age, from first loves to low self-confidence and disciplinary problems, but in the end they are all consumed by a sense of responsibility. The film touches on the dark side of the demanding sport, but it often acts childishly and simplifies the complex motivations of teenage boys.
