Just like every year, Dr. Burke comes to visit the old man who is being cared for by his nurse Dobruše. In a small, not very cosy room, the two friends have incredible adventures in which, thanks to their imagination, the most ordinary things change their function, fantasies become reality and a crazy world is created in which everything is possible. This experimental film, which is essentially a game within a game, completely breaks away from the usual standard of Barrandov productions and has rightly caught the attention of critics and insider viewers alike.
