Plot
A man dreams of a second life.
Sinekatalog’s take
Jan Švankmajer's cut-out animation comedy follows a man who dreams a second life with a dream woman, guided by Freud and Jung. Strange, funny and mischievous, it is a playful, perverse and inventive psychoanalytic farce.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
