A gloomy allegory on the world's absurdity. As in his film "The Flat," there is a sole human actor while the other characters are objects, e.g. screws, pork tongues, smoked legs, meat mincer and many others. There is not a thing in the world that would resist the fantasy of Jan Svankmajer. (official distributor synopsis)
