Hedonists

Do you know the one where Rudolf Hrušínský goes to heaven?

A curious company meets in a hotel lobby. An actor, who is trying to learn lines to a difficult text perilously, an elegant lady with a secret in her bag, a strange man who is the punchline to everyone’s joke… They all seemingly have nothing in common, time drags slowly or is virtually standing still; their talks have no end, no one leaves, but every now and then, someone departs this life. The boundary between life and death blurs and questions such as “What’s for dinner?” and “How will I die?” gain equal importance. Grotesque retelling of the topic of life and death awash with hyperbole, humour, and melancholy.
