This cinematic reportage with elements of a personal journal explores xenophobia in Czech society and anti-Nazi activists, but also the filmmaker's personal experience from living among in an socially excluded Romani neighborhood. Most of the footage was shot by the director using his own camera, and the immediacy of the images is further accentuated by voiceover observations and commentary. In just a few scenes, he adds music for dramatic affect. With his direct questions, he tries to unmask the racist arguments not only of anti-Roma protestors, but also of many ordinary citizens.

In contrast to the concentrated and very personal (and distinctive) Gadž, this is more of an unnecessary dilution of familiar shots and situations of a somewhat sketchy and unbalanced scene from anti-Roma demonstrations and subsequent counter-reactions. A number of topics open up here (including a very inconsistent Roma identity), but everything remains somewhat torso-like and broached. Even sudden bounces to a purely personal plane are no longer as convincing. I like Tomáš's work, but the feature form is not completely ideal. Television and an hour were plenty.
