Camera Operator
En tono de comedia ácida, el realizador retrata la confusión que sobrevino a la caída del bloque soviético y a la escisión de la antigua República Socialista de Checoslovaquia en dos Estados independientes (los checos por un lado y los eslovacos por el otro), en donde algunos personajes que medraban en la mediocridad se enriquecen súbitamente aprovechando el caos reinante. Con su filme, Jakubisko predijo el crecimiento del nacionalismo irracional en Europa Oriental, así como el desmantelamiento de la Federación Checoslovaca.

The gamekeeper Straka lives by himself in the Bohemian forest hill. He has quarreled with his only son. He cannot come to terms with the fact that his son has abandoned his beloved forests and settled in a town. He has never even met his grandson Vasek. Following an illness, however, little Vasek needs some country air, and so one day his mother Jarmila delivers him to her father-in-law's cottage. At first Straka is angry, but Vasek is an unaffected lad and throws himself with verve into all the little adventures that the forest provides.
