The film is about Mike, a junkie and a thief, who decided to get away from drugs after falling for his new neighbour Jane. However his girlfriend Kaja prevented him from doing so. Following the trcs of Kaja, Mike ended up in South Africa where he gets involved with local gangsters and meth dealers.
After impressed by the novel of Jáchym Topol named Anděl, director Vladimír Michálek met with him and asked Topol to accompany with him in the screenplay. The film commenced its shooting on December 24, 1999.
The movie was met with positive reviews. CER said that despite having an infantile plot, the film worked best on the microscopic level by picking up the minutiae of modern life and capturing the ills of a generation on screen. Film Blitz also noted that the film provide an eye-opening picture of a rarely-seen side of Prague: scummy suburbs, of peddled religious icons and groceries brought on credit, where meaningless sex and drugs are about the only escape.
