English A beautiful period record, imbued with the Vláčil’s spirituality of the rugged land of God. Špáta was clearly engrossed in the spirituality of Ireland and was able to create a visually captivating testimony that does not follow the hunt for "tourist gems", but rather attempts to transmit strange vibrations. In my eyes, he is doing it absolutely perfectly – the conclusion connected with the recitation of Yeats's poem absolutely got to me. The creator's fantastic talent for getting amongst ordinary people with a camera is still quite astonishing. ()
