First showing on network television. An innocuous picnic in the woods on an idyllic summer's day is taken over by a gang of smiling bullies. The urbane host wants only to make his bewildered guests happy - or so he says. They, however, will only make him happy by accepting his hospitality on his terms. This biting political allegory features director Evald Schorm as 1 the guest who refuses to conform.
Schorm's own representation of the political upheavals of the 1960s, Seventh Day, Eighth Night, will be shown next Saturday.
Director Jan Nemec
