Synopsis

Étude based on the screenplay of the film with the same title (directed by Ján Kadár and Elmar Klos, 1955). Hanka has a quarrel with Josef and he pushes her into a cupboard, locks her there, and continues with the fight. The man who comes into the room with a helicon thinks that Josef, who is talking to the closed cupboard door, is not quite sane. After Josef leaves, the man understands everything and lets Hanka out.
