A humorous story mocking so-called modern housing architecture. A successful architect, himself living in baroque comfort, designs for other people cubes, cubes and more cubes. When he finds out that it might not be the best solution, he is blessed with a brilliant idea; he designs a pyramid-shaped structure. The accompanying music is once again, just as in Problematorium, dominated by motifs from The Bartered Bride. (Anifilm)
