The Czech band Lucie is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. From the moment they arrived on the Czech music scene and instantly became a legend, they've been enhancing our lives with hits that have really got under our skin. In this unique documentary, we are given the opportunity to see the band on the big screen for the first time and experience all their highs and lows, this time without the bogus stories dredged up by the tabloids. Director David Sís doesn't delve into the circumstances surrounding various past breakups, instead he examines the reasons why the group always gets back together again. Via a sequence of flashbacks, the film draws audiences into its narrative such that, for a period of ninety minutes, they, too, get a true taste of the rock star lifestyle. With a real feel for the story, the director combines his own material with television archive footage to create a remarkable cocktail which brings back to life all the things that connect us with Lucie: from our first encounter, when we still had a Walkman hanging off our belts, and the gala night at the opera, to the concerts sold out within minutes.

KVIFF 2016 – Municipal Theater in Karlovy Vary, practically full, Marek Eben is standing on the stage with his show Na plovárně and with the band “Lucie”. It was very difficult to manage all four band members on a single stage, but Marek Eben handled it well and we had quite the laugh. By the way, the documentary itself has also managed that well, but I think that its only negative is that it shows various moments of the band’s life by leaps and bounds. The question is: how much material was there and how much was filmed later for the document. However, the band apologized and life goes on. They finally tore off the veil of mystery and confirmed or refuted many things. The documentary therefore served its purpose.
