Description
Synopsis
A colorful mosaic of stories from the gray rabbit warrens of human life unfolds. An elderly villager searches for his daughter's apartment in a half-built Prague housing estate, where streets and buildings lack proper identification, and muddy pathways prevail. He's just one of many amidst the chaos, experiencing daily dramas: a six-year-old boy sneaks out of kindergarten to meet his father, members of the inspection committee refuse to accept flawed new apartments, and young Soňa anticipates impending motherhood. All observed by an old lady behind a window, who may be more than just a silent witness.
