This film is a part of the "Slovak Cinema of the 70's" DVD edition
(released by SFI & The Daily SME), which also includes:

"A pobežím až na kraj sveta" ("And I'll Run to the Ends of the Earth")
"Červené víno I-II" ("Red Wine I-II")
"Keby som mal pušku" ("If I Had a Gun")
"Ľalie poľné" ("Wild Lilies")
"Medená veža" ("The Copper Tower")
"Orlie pierko" ("Eagle Feather")
"Pacho, hybský zbojník" ("Pacho, the Brigand of Hybe")
"Postav dom, zasaď strom" ("Build a House, Plant a Tree")
"Víťaz" ("The Winner")

The encode sucks - it woulda sucked even in 2007, when this DVD came out. Fortunately, there are not that many "difficult" scenes like e.g. this one (the bit-starved satellite rip fares no better there):

Moreover, at many a scene change, the first few frames exhibit some warping (the HD master fixes that, but - I suspect - at the cost of zooming the picture in a little):

SFI & The Daily SME (frame 58828 / 58829 / 58830 / 58831 | 67490 / 67491 / 67492 / 67493)

ČT art HD DVB (frame 58844 / 58845 / 58846 / 58847 | 67511 / 67512 / 67513 / 67514)

*difference between channels is -66.32 dB (0.05 %)
**the subtitles are enabled by default when the Slovak menus are selected,
but it's possible to turn them off using the remote
