Man in a Great Hall (1964)
An artistic documentary based on a report of the same name from Ladislav Mňaček's book Where Dirt Roads End. A psychological reflection on the feelings of an individual who operates like a modern, fully automated control room of a large hydroelectric power plant. His subjective ideas intertwine with the environment of the workplace, accompanied by the music of J. S. Bach.
