The crash on Highway 101 killed three people and changed five more. For a group of young Czechs, life becomes a frantic, absurd pursuit of connection, where romantic gestures are both ridiculous and sacred. Director Jan Němec crafts a surreal and chaotic 1967 romance-comedy, a whirlwind of stolen kisses and existential longing. This is a film where love is the only serious joke in a world turned upside down.
