This documentary essay is an ironically aggressive report about the decline of "folklore" as an official "cultural-political" phenomenon. The author uses non-traditional film methods, including subtitles as commentary, song, declamations made to the camera, played etudes, and combining news reports with fiction. The censors of that particular era did not allow the film to be distributed. (Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival)
