The heroine of this social melodrama, set in a desolate region “where people were born with solitude in their hearts”, is the naive orphan Nina, who stumbles upon an escaped prisoner intent on seeing his dying mother one last time. With its classic story and advanced technical quality, this low-budget picture was a hit with audiences both at home and abroad. (Karlovy Vary International Film Festival)

We all hate Saša Dobrovolná with the same intensity, but this film also features a fine Vladimir Majer, Lo Marsánová is quite good, Machatý acts a bit better than he did in The Lady with the Small Foot , and the main duo is sympathetically seconded by a quality Josef Rovenský at the end.

A pleasantly elaborate film, which the creators obviously cared about. The masterfully told story and charm of Anna Ondráková cannot be spoiled by the few somewhat naive, but in a way very magical scenes. I really liked the end with the Rovensko Puppet Theater and the whole idea that has been winding through White Paradise since the demolition of the glass castle.

Karel Lamač made this simple, naive, yet precisely directed melodrama in which he even plays the main role. It’s a pleasure to watch him along with Anna Ondráková, and I’m glad I had the opportunity to see this movie on the big screen as part of the Karlovy Vary festival (unfortunately, with a very questionable musical accompaniment, I have to say). The totally stunning performance of the main actors, together with Karl Lamač’s direction which is full of ideas and tricks, compensate for the banality of the storyline. Quite many scenes are a feast for the eyes (the winning one being, for me, the glass castle and the use of its theme throughout the story). It doesn’t hurt to watch such a slightly naive fairytale from time to time. [KVIFF 2018]
