- The production features recognizable Prague landmarks, including the Zizkov and Vrsovice districts, alongside a historic Type 81-71 metro car.
Vinegret.cz reported that the American corporation Apple published its traditional holiday video on Friday, featuring easily recognizable Prague locations throughout the narrative. The four-minute short film centers on a creatively gifted boy who faces hurdles while working toward his dream of becoming a professional artist.
Eagle-eyed viewers spotted a Soviet-built Type 81-71 metro car in one of the sequences, a vehicle currently operated by the Prague Public Transit Company for recreational retro tours. Outdoor courtyard scenes were shot in the Vrsovice district within the Vlasta housing estate. The protagonist later walks past the Strahov Stadium while returning home during the evening hours.
Additional filming took place on K Topirne street, which served as the backdrop for two separate sequences. The location hosted a passing Pendolino train operated by Czech Railways, as well as a scene where the young artist runs alongside railway tracks following a physical altercation. The Moskevska street steel lattice road bridge is clearly visible in the background of these railway shots.
The classroom sequence, in which the protagonist receives a graded math test featuring a note to concentrate further, was filmed at Hanspaulka Elementary School. Vinegret.cz said that the new commercial project shows that Apple creative teams continue to choose the Czech Republic, where the company has filmed global market commercials almost every year for a long period.
