Rozálie
Kohoutová

In the summer of 2017, young hockey players from Náchod in East Bohemia went to faraway Morocco, where they experienced the most fun training camp of their careers. They came not only to play hockey, but also to get to know the local people and their way of life up close. A few months later, the hockey players from Salé, Morocco, headed to the Czech Republic to experience the same thing in reverse. The result is a lively dialogue between two different cultures, full of various little surprises and liberating humor. Did the Czechs learn to bargain in Morocco? Did the hockey superpower confirm that reputation? Did Moroccans get halal meat in Bohemia? Did they understand what offside means?
