synopsis
A black and white portrait of this cult trio of musicians led by Filip Topol, a poet bitten by the piano, his observations on music, women, inspirations and their fans, as well as individual songs, accompanied by long camera scenes of Prague streets, up escalators and down half-empty highways. It also evokes the reality of the early 1990s, encoded in the dilapidated buildings and the omnipresence of Škoda 120s.
biography
At the end of the 1970s, Pavel Macháček moved in emigrant underground circles. In West Berlin, he finished his studies in film directing at DFFB Berlin in 1990, and began to support himself as a taxi driver – he worked in film only intermittently as an editor. He is still a Berlin taxi driver today.
