- The story takes place over three rainy and tepid days. Transcending time and national borders, this tale could happen just about anywhere, any time. We meet the lovers, Sophie (Catherine Flemming) and Vincent (Karel Roden), just as they arrive at a deserted house where she wanted to meet. It could be quite a normal date. Their curiosity leads them to the bathroom, and somebody locks them in. They have no idea who has locked the door or why. Watching them through a peephole in the wall is an eye, an eye that foretells nothing good...
- The film is based on the book of the same title (A Sanguinary Novel) by the very individual Czech painter, typographer, author and philosopher Josef Vachal, who squeezed adventure, love, horror and other parallel episodes into, what is called, decadent reading for maids. It takes you through the history of the cinema, from silent films, to the beginning of sound and up to the very present.
