The Beet Rebellion

A commercial promoting artificial fertilizers. Two farmers, Malý a Moc [Small and Mighty], overlook their beet fields. The beets in the first field are bigger, because farmer Small employs artificial fertilizers. The beets in the field of farmer Mighty are apparently smaller and withering, because he fertilizes his field with manure instead of potash. At night, the hungry beets from his field rise up as soon as they find out why their colleagues from the field of farmer Small are doing so well, and they organize a protest. They sneak into their farmer's dream and start threatening him. The frightened farmer Mighty wakes up from the scream dream and immediately orders artificial fertilizers for his beet field. The Propagafilm Prague company executed a Czech version of the commercial, while the differences between the individual passages of the original, produced by the Svend Nolden Berlin company, and of the extended Czech version are well distinguishable.

Heavy Traffic

A white dropout struggles to become a cartoonist and filmmaker, drawing inspiration from the harsh, gritty world around him. Still sharing his rundown apartment with his middle-aged parents, an oafish slob of an Italian father and a ditzy nutcase of a Jewish mother, he's ridiculed and looked down upon by his friends, hypocrites who run with violent gangs and the Italian Mafia, and a shallow Black girl who makes her living downtown with the pimps and pushers. The cartoonist gets a chance to pitch a film idea to a movie mogul, but the story proves too outrageous: a far-future Earth, depleted by war and pollution, where a mutant antihero challenges and kills God.
