What Do I Know about It or Report on Disappointment

Synopsis

A student's party. Alcohol is poured. A lonely young man falls into a daydream. In black-and-white scenes, he sees himself and a couple of young elegant people banqueting in a forest. In the colour scenes, the woman abandons the man and leaves with the youth. In the black-and-white shots, the young man secretly watches the couple and then fights with the man. He stays lying on the ground and three girls in black dance around him. In another colour scene he takes the young woman away. But yet another fight breaks out and the young man stabs his rival with a dagger. Three girls in white circle around the man's body. The young man returns from his fantasy world. The party goes on as couples embrace around him. The young man grabs a bottle and drinks it to the bottom. His legs are then reeling in intoxication.

Note

The film is dedicated to Ing. arch. Peter Gál and his wife Katarína, born Hajdučíková.
