presents the struggle between people and drugs as a triptych similar to great stories of myths or spiritual works like the 16th century Labyrinth by Comenius. In the beginning the drug provides the pilgrim with rose-colored glasses which turn the gray valley of everyday life into a fascinating fair. (...) Jindřich Štreit does not moralize, he does not frighten us. His portrayal is unflinching but not too cool or detached. The author's surname means "struggle" and such is his work. He experiences with these people their humiliation and struggles together with them to regain their lost freedom. Let's hope this witness is not overlooked.
