Storyline:David, a talented 16-year-old-goalie freshly diagnosed with diabetes, joins a new ice-hockey team, the Wolves, where he becomes the outsider, bracing the avalanche of bullying that gradually gains speed.User review:Many thanks for a very successful and authentic look into the lives of teenagers (in the film-new environment of the youth hockey team), which is so little to see in contemporary Czech cinema (!), And also many thanks for opening the problematic topic (not only cyber) of bullying. . May this film reach as many people from the target group as possible (children, teenagers and parents). Very well written, believable characters, unleashing a dramatic conflict, its escalation and conclusion. He keeps the audience’s attention from beginning to end. I especially enjoyed the motives of mirroring – the mutual hostility of boys, who have de facto the same “starting position” (parental pressures), although at first glance completely different (social classes). Tomáš Mrvík is a brat par excellence, I look forward to his next role. The boy was born for a movie lens!
