Plots(1)
The film constructs a strongly conventionalised and symbolic world out of the diary fragments of a man who underwent an alcohol detoxification treatment. The protagonist of this unusual family story, Petunia Joe, lives in a house with his mother and grandfather. One day, he suddenly turns adult. Out in LIFE, he takes his first steps in the Factory. Meaningless work is performed and barren relationships are formed among the rusted walls. Joe loves Karola, but fathers a child with another girl, Titánka. Karola marries the boys masculine grandfather, Joes younger brother commits suicide and soon his mother dies, too. At his mothers funeral, he eventually meets his father. They cannot spend much time together, as even his father dies. The happiness of Joe and Titánka vanishes, and they both end up in an insane asylum. (official distributor synopsis)
