Not only people, but also cities, streets and houses can defend themselves against fate, and through half-open doors, they allow us to see deviations from norms and conventions that turn seriousness and death into humour and hope. Bedding with joyful motifs, despite the surrounding frustration, drying on the railings, a statue of a bull adorning the former slaughterhouse and proudly bowing his head to the last match with the excavators-toreadors, Žižkov TV tower rising in the background like a space rocket that will take us to another, better country. Hundreds of motifs captured by the lens of a tireless photo documentarian during the two decades of the Žižkov`s communist sanitation. Super-wide "site-specific" collage by director Radim Procházka, editor Jan Daňhel and composer Michal Rataj.
