Four adolescents, outstanding athletes, live and train at Israel's national sports Academy. They are facing a system that pushes them to their limits while they question whether their youth isn´t being spent in vain. The story shifts between exhausting training routines and painful injuries to sporting peaks only a few are blessed to experience. But even when they hit rock bottom, what stops them from giving up is their fear of discovering that disillusionment from their dream will be much more painful than striving for it.

Score:
The story of a group of children born in the High Himalayas of Nepal - a remote area of great natural beauty but where life is extremely tough. Some children are sent by their parents at the age of four to the capital city, Kathmandu, to a school run by a Buddhist monk in the hope that education will give them a better chance in life. For ten years or more they do not see or speak to their parents due to the remoteness of their villages. Now, upon graduation, aged 16, the children are making the trek home: an arduous and lengthy journey across mountains that takes them to the highest inhabited place on the planet. It´s a faraway, off-grid land where the way of life has not changed for thousands of years, and where their parents are waiting to see children brought up in a world of mobile phones, social media and most modern conveniences. And then the earthquake strikes.

Score:
Interesting and decisive moments in the childhoods of prominent Czech personalities. For example, little Tomas Masaryk defended the truth as the highest value and almost got into a fight with the school principal. The Čapek brothers didn't much get along with they were boys because the younger Karel was mommy's boy and Josef was somewhat neglected. We see the ordinary, human and funny in each, no matter how respected the personality. Every great person has been angry, experienced joy and sadness sometime in their life.

An animated cycle made for the 100th anniversary of the establishment of an independent Czechoslovakia that introduces the meaning of Czech state symbols. We are introduced to the anthem, the flag, and the emblem. What is the anthem, why is it important, what and when is it used, what is its history, and what are its verses? Why is there a lion on the Czech emblem, how is it that he has two tails, who does the eagle belong to? How do you not confuse the colors of the flag? And when and how is the flag used.

The story of Wenceslas Square in Prague and its genius loci associated with both Czechoslovak and Czech statehood. This square of the Czech metropolis is a microcosm that has experienced almost every major historical event of the Czech Kingdom, Czechoslovakia and the Czech Republic. The location around which "great" events have touched is in the vicinity of a monument to St. Wenceslas. Ardo, the horse made by the famous sculptor Josef Myslbek, tells tales from the earliest moments of Czech history connected with Charles IV, to the present day connected with the division of Czechoslovakia. His audience is a girl named Tereza, a tourist who is to meet her friend "under the horse".
