Magic-realistic tragicomedy about life and literature

The first adaptation of Jiří Kratochvil’s short story

60s in a Czechoslovak city

A Kundera-like story of a mid-age psychologist Jiří playing a literature-mystification game. Or to publish poems under young woman´s identity in order to escape from one’s boredom and complexes.

But what if a patient takes this method up and profits out of it? And what if he uses a woman Jiri falls in love with?

A story about desire, fraud and irony of destiny. And a sexual disease called “candaulism" - as the King Candaules the candaulist get excited when displaying their women to looks of other men.

For all literature-lovers, art-lovers, Kratochvil-lovers, humour-lovers... For all lovers!
