About

This low-budget feature captures the techno-subculture then as now popular among Prague youth. Anna, on the run from a small-town military academy, meets up with a group of easygoing kids who hang out at clubs eating dance drugs. She falls in love with one of them but this of course requires stronger roots. The film, which has attained cult status, is blessed with atmospherically well-executed nonacting scenes.
