synopsis
A bird on a deer antler, a noblewoman on whom a chandelier fell, burning her to death, felt socks on the castle floor and backwards big game. The fairground attractions complementing genre pictures from a group bus tour to Hluboká Castle show tourists in slow motion or speeding up to escape into collective timelessness.biography
