The World War Two is about to end. A train with concentration camp prisoners is standing in a station. Three exhausted men scheme how to get to a nearby carriage loaded with bread. If the calculations are right, they have 57 seconds to get it. Running and not being noticed while doing so is an impossible task for a malnutrished person, yet it may be the only way to survival. A studen film of Jan Němec based on a short story by Arnošt Lustig. (Prague Short Film Festival)

I am extremely disgusted with the realization of the continuation of the generational alternation of the likes of Wasserman and Němec, but as a seed it is decent. It’s also a good choice from Lustig’s works. If Němec had not resisted this and had not resorted to his mannerisms, he would have been a better man.
