- This movie tells a story of the dark side of communism, corruption in everyday life through the eyes of an ordinary man working as a new engineer in a factory.
- "musical of totalitarian age" is sub-title of movie SMOKE, in which Thomas Vorel emanated from his second famous classroom film IING.(1985), he him self however confess of many changes. As a matter of fact only axis of the story stayed: young engineer arrives on his first place of work with intention to labour, which shows as a shocking excess in bizarre attitude of the last era of totalitarian convulsions. Mirek´s uncommonly normal bearings adduces movement of "local" history, and social evil (impersonated in incompetent bosses) is precipitated by rightly indignant awaken crowd. Picture has poetics typical of mentioned times: inosculating serious with unvalued, irony with admiration, reality with bizarrerie, matter with absurdity.
