The film, written and directed by Petr Ka?ka, received Special Mention at the International Television Festival Golden Prague in 2003. It was released in 2004 to celebrate 150 years anniversary of Janá?ek. The director combined archive footage and contemporary stagings.
The film reflects the complicated character of Janá?ek (performed by Hanu? Bor), his work and his relationship with his wife (Ilona Svobodová) and his mistress Kamila Stösslová (Zuzana Vejvodová). It presents Janá?ek developed as a visionary of musical realism through the use of a specific musical language. The director tried to avoid any stereotypes of the composer.
