Synopsis
Petr Zelenka wrote and directed a film which formally combines an American independent movie poetic with Bun~uelesque absurdity. Several bizarre stories of minor personal perversions are linked by interweaving plot lines, and unified by the character of an American pilot who dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima in 1945.
