This film is an interpretation of the human bone decorations of the Baroque chapel in Sedlec by Kutná Hora. The film's ironic soundtrack consists of a tour guide's commentary. In the distributor's opinion, the morbidity of the image linked with the guide's black humour evoked the image of a post-August 1968 atmosphere and the film was replaced by a non-narrative version, which the author refused.
