Story
Feito sob a sombra da invasão soviética na Tchecoslováquia em 1968, este clássico da 'New Wave' tcheca foi suprimido por mais de 20 anos, sendo liberado apenas em 1990. Este selvagem trabalho de vanguarda, retrata um mundo devastado pela guerra, incidindo sobre dois amigos que moram com um senhorio louco que deserdou a Igreja e acabam se envolvendo com uma linda jovem judia abandonada. Os três tentam criar um sentimento de família e de lar, cada um dedicado a reproduzir o tolo, como meio de se distanciarem do horrores que têm absorvido e da loucura do mundo que os rodeia.
