Compared to the first film, this time it is more of a fantasy than a fairy tale. “For us, number one was a great transition between fairy tale and fantasy films, and when we saw that it was working, we went even further. There’s still a fairy tale element, but we also wanted to do something more serious,” said Kubík Práv of the genre shift.

More important in the story, which is nothing short of the struggle between good and evil, is the internal struggle of the alchemist Amélia, a teenage girl who must choose between forbidden magical powers that distort her soul and love for those closest to her. he.

“I enjoy the real emotion, which the fantasy genre provides. Characters act as they do in life,” said Křenková. Lambora added that he found the action scenes fun. “We have a lot of training, both fencing and horseback riding. It’s great to experience this too.”

One of the new characters is played by Vojtěch Kotek, who said of work on the film Právu: “My relationship with this project goes back to my beginnings, when I tried directing and we filmed various parodies of the fantasy genre with my friends. Petr Kubík worked with us while that, helped us with tricks. When he offered me this film, I didn’t hesitate. I supported the whole creative team, because we had met at the amateur level, and his enthusiasm for the genre and doing something different, new, unusual in Czech conditions , has persisted over the years. Such passion is unheard of in the professional field. After all, I think time is ticking, and we are able to present to children today something that is a bit more violent than the classic fairy tale.”

There are nine hundred digital tricks in the film, which according to the makers is the most in the history of Czech cinema. In addition to the QQ Ostrava studio, the Paranormal studio also participates in the effect.
