Oct 01, 1985
Alors que des forains italiens marchent dans la neige, la Mort déclenche une avalanche. Un petit garçon dans un berceau échappe à l'avalanche, et lorsque la vieille dame s'approche de lui, il attrape son nez, et ne lâche la Mort que lorsqu'elle lui a promis de ne le prendre que s'il le lui demandait. La sœur de la Mort, la dame Hiver Perinbaba, recueille chez elle l'enfant, nommé Jakub. Il l'aide à secouer son édredon de plumes qui apporte la neige sur la terre. Les années passent sans qu'il grandisse, mais il suit du ciel la vie d'une petite fille, Alžbetka. Son père, le maire du village, perd sa femme, et prend une nouvelle épouse, qui a déjà une fille, Dora. La voyant persécutée par sa marâtre, Jakub décide de quitter Perinbaba. Il emporte l'un de ses couvre-lit pour s'envoler, et grandit d'un seul coup. Il retrouve Alžbetka, et se fait engager par son père. Ils ne tardent pas à se rendre compte qu'il est doué de nombreux talents, presque magiques.

The film could have been a lyrical evocation of the ČSSR's first generation: the youngsters born during the war, who grew up in a state violently at pains to find and define itself, and were now ready to break away from the nation-builder ethics of their elders – but Grečner turned it into an anxiety-riddled existentialist vision of a whole globe in fear.

Sebastian, Chief Archer in the Roman Army, converts to Christianity. A favorite of Emperor Augustus, Sebastian's devotion to Christ eventually drives him to reject the Emperor's love, causing the Emperor to angrily order Sebastian to be shot with arrows by his fellow archers. The film retells this mystery play with a definite 'art-house' approach: an almost poetical use of language, singing, dancing, some homoerotic themes, and some special effects.

The children's detective story describes a thrilling and cheerful search for a lynx that someone stole from the zoo corner of the house of pioneers and young people (the creators apparently assume that large carnivores are commonly bred in the children's facility). However, the film is made completely ingeniously, the naïve plots hardly catch the eye. In one of the last roles, Vladimír Menšík will introduce himself as a police captain, leading a long-complicated investigation
