A session begins at a psychiatric centre. A box of undelivered letters brings an artist together with an adolescent Nazi. Four boys enjoying the holidays find a hanged man and take him into their gang. Mr Volavka rises gloriously from the swamp of a disability pension, and the guitarist of the legendary rock band Ilegální substance gets stuck in a lift with his biggest fan. The anti-heroes of these short stories with sharp punchlines are ripe for therapy; they do not want to fit into a society they find ridiculous, and when they finally see light at the end of the tunnel, they run towards it without realising it is a blowtorch.
