Great comedy on late socialism
18 June 2001 | by – See all my reviews

Mirek has graduated from engineering and comes to his first job. It is late 80ies in the Czechoslovakia. Mirek learns the merciless truth about the deteriorating factory and its unbelievable stuff. This movie features the unique humor of the Sklep theatre. Includes some wonderful songs.
