A dramaturg stands at the birth of a film, present on set and in the editing room, yet remains invisible. Just as quietly unfolds the life of the prominent Czechoslovak dramaturg Jan Gogola, who influenced numerous film stories. His portrait takes shape before the viewers’ eyes as a playful and self-aware reflection on a role that usually remains in the background.
