Piece of thwarted love and revenge miscarried, read for deep political implications, shading new light on the eternal themes of human existence, the film was for a long time languishing in the censor´s office, proscribed by the than Czechoslovak communist regime.　

Describing a brilliant attack on the Stalinist mentality in the glow of the Prague Spring, the movie updates a great deal about the background of the not too far-fetched Czechoslovak history, representing a puissant offering of humorous look at inhumanity. 　

A story of poly-historical, psychological perception and literary finesse, the film depicts with enviable fluidity and relaxed ease in transition from storytelling to essay and back again, a tremendous synthetic power: poetry, fantasy, philosophy, aphorism, essay, all rolled in one. A work of art. A classic.
