[edit] Plot
Andula is a working-class woman living in a fading Czech factory town. After a party she sleeps with Milda, a member of the performing band who is visiting from Prague. A famous line is uttered as they are laying in bed afterwards. Andula asks what Milda meant when he said she was "angular." He goes on to explain that a woman is shaped like a guitar. "And you, you look like a guitar too," he tells her, "but one painted by Picasso." They part ways, and when she doesn't hear from him again, she packs up and arrives on his doorstep in the big city. Milda lives with his parents, who make quite a show when this unexpected visitor surprises them and throws their world into darkly comical chaos.
