Drama, Mystery | Vladimír Michálek chose an unconventional adaptation of Franz Kafka's novel for his feature debut. Artistically reminiscent of the classic films of Karel Zeman, the director reinterpreted this dark story of a man vainly seeking a place in a rigidly ordered society by changing the desperate conclusion into a happy end. The film provided Czech comedian Jiří Lábus with a new kind of role: that of the despotic uncle of a main hero Karel Rossman (Martin Dejdar).
