Four years ago, a fourteen-year-old Vietnamese girl called Eva Tranová was murdered in a small border town with a large Vietnamese community. She was murdered by her classmates Jan Polanský (14) and Milan Horváth (14). They were placed in a borstal as minors and released when they turned 18. Our story starts right after their release. One of them was found dead. The other one is on the run. The case is assigned to experienced detective Lieutenant Kapr from the district criminal police. Kapr sets out to the town where he begins to cooperate with a local police officer of Vietnamese origin – an intelligent and ambitious girl called Anh. She has to face the fact that neither the locals nor her family could accept that a Vietnamese girl can be a police officer. (Ostrava Kamera Oko)

El argumento, digno del telefilm de sobremesa policíaco más comercial, por alguna razón ha sidoconvertido en largometraje. Sin ningún motivo. Además toda la lengua vietnamita ha sido doblado a una lengua checa culta y por ello poco realista. Por lo visto TV Nova, la productora, consideró que los espectadores era demasiado analfabetos para leer un puñado subtítulos. Por todo ello esta versión televisiva es una demostración cinematográfica de la palabra "cringefest".

Querida sorpresa, con un buen crimen liderado por una atractiva vietnamita y el desaliñado y desenfadado David Novotný. Me gustó la historia, la resolución fue inesperada para mí. Ya me gustó el trabajo literario parisino de Zdeněk Viktora, así que no me decepcionó esta vez cuando se adentró en la trama cinematográfica, que de por sí no es fácil. En mi opinión, impresiones positivas, aunque se podrían encontrar algunas cosas que chirrían o no funcionan al cien por cien.

A pretty decent crime crossover film whose creators discovered that it wouldn’t be a bad idea to combine Czech and Vietnamese culture. Even though a couple of moments could have been dealt with differently, all in all, I really enjoyed the film. For instance, the scenes from the SAPA marketplace were excellent. But it’s a pity that David Novotný got to play a really terrible guy in this one. I can hardly believe that there could be such an unorthodox and wannabe just swine of a person among the police. The racist subtext didn’t really work for me. I can imagine this to be the case with another minority but not really with the Vietnamese. But I do understand that the SAPA marketplace is a different kind of world than the one inhabited by the Vietnamese in our town.

A very decent crime drama. The environment of the Vietnamese community is an excellent refreshment for the Czech context. Ha Thanh Špetlíková is very pleasant, David Novotný is a classic redneck and together they are the perfect pair for a trip from Varnsdorf to Sapa.

It could have been a great film if the creators hadn't bet on a clichéd pair of characters from American films. An experienced detective (white and racist) and a newbie (member of a minority) who teaches his superior a moral lesson and possibly even gets him to do some soul-searching. It’s a shame that the film didn't turn out better. The forensic procedures in the film were ridiculous (who needs gloves, right?). What I regard positively was the likable protagonist and David Novotný’s "hairstyle."
