Director Tomáš Vorel created his experimental feature debut with members of renowned Prague non-traditional auteur theaters. The ensembles presented their own poetics and style through five "short stories" connected by satirical commentary by the "expert" Dr. Milan Šteindler, CSc.
A computer programmer and his son are going out of the city for vacation.
A bitter comedic-drama centering around Tomas, a former promising young director who must cope with a commerce driven world he no longer wants to participate in.
The movie is a satirical look at foreign occupation - a medieval Czech jester entertains a German king and his French wife, or a modern Czech villager helps a Bavarian hunter and his French wife find wild boar in Bohemia - the story switches back and forth between the two plots and time-periods.
The film is based on a legendary school film of Tomáš Vorel, called INg (1985). The storyline stays the same - a young engineer finds a new job and wants to work, this proves to be impossible in the last days of the communist era.
The Little Man lives happily in his little house in the Hollow Mountain. His peaceful life ends once he begins to have dreams about a mysterious house where he is to find what he desires. Even though he does not feel like having any desires, he crack the mystery himself.
The little man enjoys social life in the forest village, runs a forest kiosk with Majolenka, and has a band with his friends. The idyll is disrupted by reports of strange deer threatening the forest inhabitants. Suspicion is also aroused by the eccentric protector Dr. Zetek, who distributes televisions throughout the forest. Fear gradually takes hold of the villagers, the forest is swarming with robots, and the kiosk is empty. The little man must once again set out on a journey to save his beloved Majolenka, his friends, and indeed his home.
Short musical comedy from Tomas Vorel.
