An artist's studio is descended upon by a group of retired men and a young mother who agree to model in the nude for money. Comedy ensues as the students and the local bureaucracy react to the models, all in need of extra money. Several running gags border on slapstick as the officials and the students don't know what to do with the nude models. (Ljubljana International Film Festival)

"Maybe we’d better talk about women instead." – "What, death isn't a woman?" I still haven't seen Jaroslav Papoušek's debut, and I have to say that it's just as great as the (first two) Homolka films, although unlike them it's not a classic story, but rather a "montage about age". It's a wise reflection as much as it is a hilariously dry comedy – a parade of surreal arcs in which perhaps every character needs to make a point, but few do. The script, and with it the viewer, takes a moment to mock the pensioners who compete like little boys over who gets to be the model, and in a moment are hilariously – embarrassingly – embarrassed when the coal miners begin to knowingly critique the statues that they "need to work out". In the end, it's always best over a beer.
