Vier Menschen – eine SpracheSynopsis
A cobbler sets off to visit his customers to ask them how they like his shoes. He visits a professor, an innkeeper, pensioner and a landlady, but they all complain about his shoes. He tries in vain to explain that the problem lies with the floors and not his shoes. So the cobbler has an idea: "And that's how the shoe-maker Baťa began to manufacture Zlinolit, the ideal floor covering." (According to the censorship licence)
