Our balls will satisfy any chimney sweep, boasts the centrally planned economy as it produces more and more balls. But there are still just as many chimney sweeps. The socialist equivalent of Catch-22 makes a bitingly ironic comment on the paradoxical economics of scarcity and abundance. The mechanical gears of industry produce out of inertia just for the sake of producing. (Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival)
