The story of the famed cleverness and wit of the simple farmer Čupera, who not only wins out over the demon of alcohol, but also over a bureaucratically relentless and thorough devil. The hell, which the farmer experiences during the detoxication cure, is in the style of a honky-tonk bar, a galley with prison and dehumanized night club .
