Prague. Nowadays. Unbreathable air, tons of cars blocking the sidewalks, angry pedestrians that have to slip between vehicles, angry cyclists that can’t find a place of their own and angry drivers that can't find any parking spots. Bet it sounds familiar.
This urban chaos that citizens live automatically on a daily basis is the target of the movie that combines elements from documentaries, animations, videos and home-made videos. While filming, Director Martin Mareček realized that a simple essay with classical elements and an already known public wouldn’t be enough, so he became an á la lettre activist for the Auto*Mat organization, ready to lobby authorities and politicians in order to really make a change.
