Фильм состоит из двух неравных частей. Первая из них, Пролог — короткая, чуть менее двух минут, проецировалась на экран во время исполнения увертюры балета Эрика Сати «Relâche» (в переводе «Спектакль отменяется» или чаще употребительное название «Антракт»). Вторая часть, Антракт — продолжительностью примерно 18 минут, показывалась в зрительном зале театра во время (или вместо) антракта между двумя актами того же балета. Эти две части, Пролог и Антракт, почти не связанные друг с другом ни по сюжету, ни по стилю, тем не менее в настоящее время соединены автором в один фильм «Антракт» и показываются вместе без перерыва, как единое целое.

Story about a group of eccentric Dadaist artists in a small Serbian town in the 1920s.
The Dadaist, an eccentric creature who embodies the concept of the 20th century European avant-garde art movement Dadaism, destroys and mocks art pieces such as Leonardo Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, whilst expressing his impulsive fury at logic and reason.
With input from actor and writer Jan Hlobil, director and cinematographer Rene Smaal presents a film in the true surrealist tradition, in the sense that only 'found' elements were used, and that it defies interpretation based on ordinary cause-and-effect time sequence.

In the 1920s, Man Ray directed four films which, although largely unknown by the general public, made him into a major figure in avant-garde cinema. His films were to be as radical as his images or objects. Included: Le Retour à la Raison, Les Mystères du Château du Dé, Emak-Bakia, L'étoile de Mer and collected shorts.
Contemplate the "anti-art" spirit of Dadaism, its nihilistic yet humorous indictment of civilization and bizarre use of unconventional media. In the sensibility of Surrealism, observe its compelling focus on the subconscious and two substyles - dream imagery, with its juxtaposition of objects and settings, and "automatic drawing," eliciting unplanned images from the unconscious.
Kubus Home Video presents a Kimberly Kubus film; the brand new in garbage cinema. The Pink Umbrella Man has a cabin possessed when Bob Booze and his friends are driving up. Meanwhile detectives mr. Dick and mr. Head put themselves on the task of solving the mystery. 31 minutes of bugs, guts, breeze, pizza, subways, hats and other stuff. Written & Directed by Kimberly, this movie even has its own theme song. A movie done in total Kubus style from top til bottom, it is rollercoaster cinema in stone delight.
Indifferent landscapes, refracting light, some lonely bird and the window to the sebum-laden living room made of patterned wallpaper and trivialities. Cut. Tenacious sequences inflate moments to cliff-hangers and shatter their tremulous spectatorship. Thundering leitmotifs – in constant intoxication by German disinterest – with no backrest or lederhosen. Black-red-gold at full mast, the cinema is dead.
