English An irresistibly dry bureaucratic absurdity with the magical poetics of Ypsilonka, which strongly reminded me of Gilliam's Brazil. Seriously, if the plot of Brazil played out in Austria-Hungary, it would certainly look something like this. The great pair of Jiří Císler and Bronislav Poloczek play an official power play against the helpless Ladislav Freja, murderers Jiří Wimmer and Petr Popelka are constantly getting involved, as well as Jana Synková, whose husband left to get the paper and never returned.
