    Simply incredible
    I must admit that I would have kicked myself if I didn't purchase this DVD. Bel Ami has never failed me, and has always had the best in actors and production values. High quality video, great lighting..and so on.

    This story is where Chance, a visiting American, meets up with Johan at the airport. The two quickly bond and a friendship begins. Thrown into the mix are other small short stories, where the two boys are somehow involved. There are a lot of montages of them touring Prague, seeing the sites, which I will admit looks like a very beautiful city. There is also a lot of bonus material on the DVD. There is a short solo of Chance, lots of video stills, and even "bloober outtakes"
