This film is set at the turn of the century, and was filmed in Karlovy Vary (Carlsbad), Czechoslovakia.

Unit Production Manager
Na fábula surreal de Jan Němec, um piquenique é grosseiramente transformado numa lição de hierarquia política quando um punhado de figuras de autoridade misteriosa aparecem. Esta alegoria sobre opressão e conformidade foi banida no país de origem, mas tornou-se um sucesso internacional depois de estrear no Festival de Cinema de Nova York.

His former colleague Rosen, now working as an assistant at the private clinic of surgeon Kirchenbruch, considers the research a mere utopia. The disappointed Bartos, trying to verify his theories, therefore accepts the outrageous proposal of Marion, owner of a brothel - to surgically replace the face of her lover, the wanted thief Cutter, with the face of murdered Father Hopsasa.

When he becomes the supply teach in Litomyšl, he has already written his first book and a number of poems. The local dignitaries await the arrival of the young writer in excited anticipation.

The students stand behind Jirásek , however, and discontent is not only felt in Litomyšl but throughout Bohemia.
