A carnivalesque, chaotic, playful, and anarchic contribution by Elo Havetta to the Czechoslovak New Wave. A visual fireworks display of ideas and an abundance of poetry as a metaphor for freedom. The film was locked away in the communist vault and banned from screening until the November Revolution of 1989.
