1979, Czechoslovakia, fiction

This Czech comedy is filled with irony and critique towards the big neighborhoods with numerous identical buildings in the then-soviet socialist republic. The movie tells few different stories – of a child, of the young families, of an old man, and their adventures in a panel complex in Prague, which is still being constructed. Each of them experiences different difficulties and absurds, but also finds interesting way to spend their days with the neighbors – some of whom he knows, and another – totally ignores – a very familiar feeling for anyone, who has ever lived in a panel complex.
