Visual scenes from the memory of a person living with polio. He contracted the polio virus in the early 1960s. Why and how did doctors in Jánské Lázně investigate the source of his infection? This dark memoir depicts the absurdity of the steps, points and instructions for living. Expressive camerawork and disjointed commentary underscore the absurdity.
