The Smoke

A musical film of the totalitarian era

A satirical musical comedy that uses absurdist humor and song to critique the dysfunction and futility of late-stage communist bureaucracy.

The film is based on a legendary school film of Tomáš Vorel, called INg (1985). The storyline stays the same - a young engineer finds a new job and wants to work, this proves to be impossible in the last days of the communist era.
