A formally inventive Czech New Wave essay that juxtaposes the disciplined struggle of an elite athlete with the quiet desperation of an invisible housewife, using hybrid documentary-fiction techniques to interrogate women's autonomy and social invisibility.

In her first feature, Věra Chytilová uses a combination of documentary and fiction film techniques to tell two stories in counterpoint. The first follows Olympic champion gymnast Eva Bosáková, who contemplates retirement as she undergoes a gruelling training schedule; the second, a housewife who is unappreciated and ignored by her husband.
