影厅内外灯亮起，爆米花香气四溢，又到了帝国戏院的营业时间。过着单调规律生活的外场经理希拉里，中年独居、固定就医、跟主管偷情、从不看电影，日复一日麻木不已。新来的年轻同事斯蒂芬对一切充满好奇，希拉里深受他吸引，从工作情况聊到戏院的辉煌过去，屋顶的废弃大厅成为两人的秘密基地。暧昧情愫升级为恋情，希拉里的人生有了新转机，但自己的情绪仍不稳定，同事也察觉到不对劲……。In this bitingly satirical film Peter Slovan, a continuous source of trouble for the film functionaries of the socialist Slovakia, tackles an evergreen topic – the corruptive effects of power. Barnabáš Kos, a triangle player at a symphonic orchestra, is suddenly promoted to serve as the head of the said institution, even though both he and his superiors deem him completely unfit for the task. Encouraged in equal parts by this unexpected recognition and the servile praise of his colleagues, Kos’s modesty starts to gradually vanish. The erstwhile bashful and aloof percussionist quickly becomes aware of the advantages of his new office, and begins to realise his increasingly ludicrous artistic ambitions. Ultimately, the submissive marionette turns into a source of public humiliation, and his astonishing career finds an abrupt end. Orchestra serves here as a microcosm that grotesquely reflects the absurd and tragicomic mechanisms of the paranoid apparatus of power.
