Pišta, a lonely bachelor, working in a Post office, takes to drinking to get
over his small stature and unsightly appearance. He is hopelessly in love with
his colleague Viera, who in turn is haplessly in love with Pista's friend
Vinco. With fate being his adversary, he tries to make up for his situation with
humor.
Slovak director Dušan Hanák is known to the film audience as a sensitive
observer of human dramas in areas where other filmmakers do not venture. This
drama was made in 1980, but due to an absurd ideological ban it was not released
until nine years later, five months before the fall of the communist regime. As
the unhappily in love Viera, the audience will see Czech actress Iva Janžurová
in one of her best performances. Pišta is played by Polish actor and theatre
director Roman Klosowski, while Vince is the role of Yugoslavian screenwriter
and director Milan Jelić. The film was awarded, among others, the Silver Bear
for directing and a special mention from the FIPRESCI jury at the 39th
International Film Festival Berlin.
