ComedyDrama
Artist Bedřich Mára (Bolek Polivka) is unable to find much secure work due to his public antagonism toward the ruling Communist Party. He has a wife and two children. Life begins to change when art historian Alois Fábera (Jiři Pecha) begins working on a piece about Bedřich, leading to a job offer from a Party official. Things are looking up, until the wrong people hear portions of the historian's writing.

This film feels like a darkly humorous, absurd look at the compromises artists make under oppressive regimes. It's a cynical, yet strangely compelling, character study that leaves you pondering the cost of integrity.
