What happens

Masseba is a Czech science fiction film directed by Miloš Zábranský. It is a parable set in a post-apocalyptic world. The film was created towards the end of the communist regime, but it was not shown in cinemas until after the Velvet Revolution, which ultimately damaged the film. It was the first Czechoslovak film that used Dolby Stereo. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
