What happens

Kam, pánové, kam jdete? je československý barevný film natočený režisérem Karlem Kachyňou v roce 1987 na námět Milana Ležáka ve Filmovém studiu Barrandov. V hlavní roli architekta procházejícího krizí středního věku se představí Karel Heřmánek. Filmová alegorie reflektuje náladu v československé společnosti 80. let 20. století stižené tehdejší šedou realitou a bezútěšností. V úvodu filmu (a pak ještě dále v ději) hraje na koncertě skladba Co s tím sklem hudební skupiny Tango, ve filmu se objeví i část videoklipu Karel nese asi čaj od Jiřího Korna.
