The story opens in 1941 in Brest-Litovsk, with Dymitr Mirga (Horst Buchholz), a prominent Gypsy violin player, entertaining a group of Nazis in a restaurant. At first the Nazis enjoy the entertainment and assure the musicians that the ongoing removal of the region's Jews is being conducted for the sake of the Romani. However, Dymitr soon realizes the truth, and asks the head of the Gypsy community to lead its evacuation into Hungary, which at that time was still independent. The leader is reluctant to comply, and the community's council eventually forces him to resign, giving his position instead to Dymitr Mirga. The son of the deposed leader had been betrothed to a beautiful Romani named Zoya Natkin (Maya Ramati), who instead chose to marry Dymitr's son, Roman (Piotr Polk)., 1h15

Le film se base sur le visionnage d'un match de foot par un homme dans une pièce abondamment décorée de posters et différents objets liés à l'univers du football. Le film consiste en une succession d'images archives montrant les réactions de supporters durant un match et d'images animées surréalistes. L'acteur qui joue le spectateur derrière son poste de télévision joue aussi l'arbitre, les joueurs, les médecins et les croque-morts dans les passages surréalistes. Le film suit une certaine mécanique propre au cinéma de Švankmajer : une série de photos de joueurs colorés montées de manière énergique avec en fond des commentaires de présentateurs brouillés, puis une chorégraphie jouée par les joueurs avec le ballon, puis la destruction d'un ou plusieurs joueurs. Švankmajer s'amuse à détruire des portraits de glaise à l'image du spectateur de toutes les manières imaginables (visage arraché par une ventouse, démolition à coups de marteau, tête passée au hachoir, etc.). Le score du match progresse à mesure que les joueurs sont détruits. Les joueurs ainsi anéantis sont mis sur des brancards puis dans des cercueils aux couleurs de leur équipe, qui intègreront également les séquences surréalistes. On voit les réactions du public passionné en archive et le spectateur souvent montré en train de manger ou boire., 59minutes
