plot synopsis is below, but it's a pretty funny spoof of intellectuals as werewolves and the good guys being kids who like mcdonald's and kung fu movies....the guy kills them with his TV remote and coca-cola acid. hilarious !!! Pavel and Eva are two teenagers who live a happy life full of McDonald's food, action movies and pop music. But one night, Pavel stumbles upon a secret gathering of intellectuals in the woods on his way to the video store. Not wanting to be discovered, the intellectuals attack him and the chief intellectual bites him in the leg. Some times later, he begins changing... Will the power of television, Eva's love and pop star Michal David's music save him from the intellectuals' evil clutches?

Delightfully hilarious!

I am 70 years old, and this has got to be the funniest short film I have ever seen. The only funnier thing is some of the negative reactions it has received from people who think it is somehow anti-intellectual, while in reality it is done so intelligently. It is a clever parody of the I was a teenage werewolf type of movies. A masterpiece of the absurd.

It is in Czech with English subtitles. I happen to understand both languages, but if you understand at least one of the two, it is well worth your time.
