Pearls of the Deep
Comedy
A quintet of vignettes based on short stories by Bohumil Hrabal: an eventful trip to the motorcycle races results in drunkenness, long-winded discussions, and death; two elderly men create false biographies; insurance agents visit an eccentric painter/goat farmer and his mother; guests at a wedding reception remain oblivious to outlying misery; and a working-class boy romances a Roma girl.
VIBE
A playful, yet sharp, anthology that dives into the absurdities of life. Its avant-garde spirit and dark humor offer a unique, sometimes unsettling, but always fascinating, look at human nature.
