A film based on three short stories about the attitudes of ex-members of a then forbidden big- beat band. The stories capture the life-styles and opinions of the musicians who gave up music and had to find ordinary jobs in order to earn a living.
Dark satire about bare-knuckled capitalism in the immediate post-Cold War era. Set just as the Communist government is collapsing, the film focuses on the brutish Racz, the handyman in a Bratislava hotel. Knowing that his job is insured for life, Racz turns off the building's heat and demands food, money, and sex to have it restored. The film is narrated by a pimp named Urban who explains that people in the former Czechoslovakia were so used to being abused that they simply put up with Racz's corruption. By the end of the film, Racz's fortunes have changed considerably. Instead of being a lowly worker, he is now a ruthless and wealthy businessman, unafraid to kill or kidnap those who get in his way.
At the centre of Peter Patzak's existentialist film noir stands the hopeless struggle against the arms mafia in Czechoslovakia and its connections with Austria after the fall of the iron curtain.
A father/son get-together trying, in their inept way, to do some repair work to their home that they have out in the country.
A musical fairy tale about children's dreams using the works of painter Ondrej Zimka.
