This film is a gangster story from the periphery of the Smíchov district of Prague, a junkie horror tale about the missing fifth element, a love story about blood and two choices. Everything in this film has fused into a single drunken dream that we would like to shake off, while knowing all along that it contains more truth than sober wakefulness. The borders between individual worlds are permeable, associations are freely combined and then dissolved, carried away by life that is governed by its own instinctive mechanism. The path of each character balances on the edge of reality and hallucination, hope and despair, euphoria and depression, laughter and convulsion. Each and every one wages a war with every one else, and love is only another term for struggle.
