The video is a treatment of the poem “Spring with the Crown of Virus” that Adam Borzič wrote at the beginning of the covid-19 pandemic. It reflects the period energy which, in addition to anxiety, included traces of hope as well. With regard to the later development of the pandemic and social situation, the text is a specific document of its era. Borzič has worked on the video with Dominika Slavická and Lukáš Slavický.
