A little-known adaptation of Jaroslav Vrchlický's play is returning to the television screen, full of humorous plots, telling the story of the courage of two women in love who, because of their love, infiltrated Karlštejn Castle, where women are forbidden to enter by order of the monarch. It was created with a number of star actors eight years before the now legendary film adaptation by Zdeněk Podskalský. When it premiered in 1965, it aroused a stormy, positive and negative response. Quite naturally, because Filip's concept of this classic play, albeit in the authentic setting of Karlštejn Castle, was completely new and unconventional at the time. This adaptation of the classic original uses the melodies of popular Czech and foreign hits with lyrics by P. Kopta. For example, the ruler's arrival at the castle was announced by the melody of the popular song Jó, třešné zrály. However, professional singers mostly sing for the actors here.

In winter 2023, the Spiral Spectrum project began by filming this video. The music was recorded in autumn of that year, and its first name was The Quintessence of Nostalgia. In editing process, the poem (Am Wolkenstieg song by empyrium) was also added to the music. This is a part of that poem translated into English: "Silent, softly floating Yearning to go out, out! Where summits darken and heavy On the cloud path over pale."
In the summer of 2023, during a trip to Gorgan, we decided to create an audio-visual project at the family garden house of our friend Aria. Soheil narrated this adventure with an old JVC camera, and the audio of this video is from the album of the "Mourners Project". The filming was done on the occasion of a solo live performance in the garden. At the time, we thought it would probably be the last time we would perform in that garden, as a long-term fraud process had led some people to attempt to confiscate the property. Although fortunately, they have not succeeded yet, and perhaps another trip to Gorgan will be an excuse for a new project. In this video, the vintage aesthetic of the Handycam is blended with the personal shots from Aria's camera. Finally, this year, on the occasion of the track "Anger Management," these images were edited together to preserve this memory of that friendly journey during the hot summer days.

The show opens in the "world of the dead", where Luigi Lucheni is being interrogated by a Judge as to why he has murdered the Empress Elisabeth. Lucheni claims that he did no more than what Elisabeth herself wanted, since all her life Elisabeth has been in love with Death himself – and vice versa. As his witnesses, Lucheni brings back the dead aristocracy of the bygone era and takes us to the past, where he serves as a sarcastic narrator of the events that lead to the transformation of the sweet and innocent Sisi to the revered and infamous Elisabeth, Empress of Austria and Queen of Hungary, and her decline through later years until her assassination.

The film follows four families, with different nationalities (French, German, Russian and American) but with the same passion for music, from the 1930s to the 1960s. The various story lines cross each other time and again in different places and times, with their own theme scores that evolve as time passes. The main event in the film is the Second World War, which throws the stories of the four musical families together and mixes their fates. Although all characters are fictional, many of them are loosely based on historical musical icons (Édith Piaf, Josephine Baker, Herbert von Karajan, Glenn Miller, Rudolf Nureyev, etc.) The Boléro dance sequence at the end brings all the threads together.
