Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Part of the Czechoslovak New Wave, this film cleverly critiqued communist bureaucracy through comedy — the censors laughed too hard to ban it.
Based on an actual 1963 case in Strakonice where police incompetence turned a minor incident into a three-day farce. Truth stranger than fiction.
