This opera for young people begins as a play in which children prepare an opera, the Victorian tale 'The Little Sweep'. Then comes the opera itself. Award-winning director Petr Weigl adds an extra layer: a surreal, humorous introduction with quirky characters who later form the audience for the performance. Weigl sets the film in the late 19th century.
