User reviews

This series tells the story of events at the start of WW2 as seen through the eyes of owners and workers in a large department store. It's obviously a low budget production that is suitable for a Czech audience. The narrative is told in a very uneven manner and does not flow in a way to provide good continuity for a non-Czech audience. The acting is stilted and not at all believable, makeup and costuming are both poorly done, and individual languages e.g German and Czech are not separated to ensure authenticity. It appears that everyone just speaks Czech. The plot is a predictable one. The series is rebroadcast through Walter Presents, a channel that specializes in rebroadcasting less popular European TV series in the US.
