The third installment of Juraj Jakubisko's loosely connected 'trilogy of freedom and happiness' (Birds, Orphans and Fools, and Sitting on a Branch, Enjoying Myself) updates the films' central theme in conjunction with the new political and economic situation which arose after the fall of the Iron Curtain. Once again Jakubisko uses a love triangle as the foreground story for his concerns about society, and diagrams burgeoning Czechoslovak democracy as a tragicomic satire.
