The dreaded Italian mafioso, Marian Labuda, will also be convinced. Mafioso Carmello was guilty of the principles of his organization when he tried to fool the boss and earned a death sentence. The convict runs away from the killer through Vienna to Prague, which his Austrian colleague in crime recommended as a safe hiding place. None of them knows that the Czechs learned so much tricks under real socialism that a seasoned Italian professional is not enough to watch.
Comédia negra sobre um assassinato e as suas consequências, apresentada do fim para o princípio, onde a morte é na verdade um renascer. O filme começa com uma "execução" do protagonista principal e retrocede para explorar as suas ações e motivações anteriores.
