A stylised variation on Mozart theme by Věra Chytilová with actors from Prague Theatre Sklep in grotesque way treats the theme of artistic freedom and society pressure. Significant stylistic feature of the film is a consistent anachronistic stylisation of setting and also the unique style of the young members of The Prague Five. (official distributor synopsis)
