Tomáš Vorel's second feature film – in the genre of a “rhythmical” - returns to the era of the fading totalitarian decay. A young and observant engineer (Jan Slovák) gets a job in a factory ruled by a Brezhnevian director. He encounters a set of notorious slackers, scheming climbers and flunkies of the regime. In the shabby environment, foggy with smoke from the factory chimneys as well as cigarettes, he witnesses malicious schemes, senseless disco partying, but also rebellious defiance. To complete this sarcastic freak show, Šimon Caban plays a dashing DJ. Epilogue, describing the Velvet Revolution, foretells the quick change of attitudes that followed the regime's fall. (Febiofest)
