This picaresque mosaic, part of the Breathless - Dominance of the Moment project, paraphrases the Buňuel film of the same name. The film's "motto" is the fall of a huge clock hand from the church in Litomeřice. The director shows a number of different people (a group of actors on a train, a financial advisor from a luxury villa), moving freely from one to another. Documentary passages are set next to staged scenes, such as an episode on military training reminiscent of a real war. The result is a mosaic of everyday paradoxes, the relativity of time, the tragic and grotesque human carnival and the phantoms of death.
