Plots(1)

After a five-year ban imposed on Václav Mergl after Laokoon, the director was allowed to adapt a sci-fi story by Anatoly Dneprov which is warning against the development of intelligent weapon systems. Supplied with enough metal, these systems are able to reproduce out of control. The embossed cut-outs in this film are pasted together in several layers, and the metallic look was created with the tin foil from cigarette packs. (Anifilm)
