A surreal, darkly comic animated allegory that dissects 41 years of Communist oppression in Czechoslovakia through grotesque stop-motion imagery and symbolic surgery on Stalin's bust.
A bust of Stalin is cut open on an operating table, leading to an elaborate animated depiction of Czech history from 1948 (the Communist takeover) to 1989 (the Velvet Revolution).
