There is a city with a large labyrinth. Day and Night and the Sun and the Moon keep alternating above the city in a seemingly never-ending cycle. Suddenly the gear gets stuck and then stops and the city is covered in endless darkness. The hero enters the labyrinth and wanders along its dark corridors. He is followed by guards who, at first sight, look like motionless statues of ancient women. But they come back to life behind the hero's back who is on his way into the heart of the labyrinth to pass three tests. (CinEast)

Arguably the best Czech short animated film in recent years. It's evidence that even in the new century, Czech animation is thriving. The screenplay may be a bit weaker, but the execution is excellent, and the atmosphere is palpable. It's a horror affair with plenty of artistic ideas, dominated by animated sculptures and a depressingly-toned music score. Actually, the unfinished screenplay eventually became an asset to the film, as it provides the viewer with few clues to understand the plot, and as we know, we fear most what we don't know and don't understand. In terms of visuals, it's a highly creative piece. Overall impression: 95%.
