The movie can be classified as a surrealist[2] or absurdist[1] satire, and it is based loosely on the third book of Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift, but the story is transferred to an early 20th-century world in decay. The movie shows also the influence of Franz Kafka and Lewis Carroll (Alice's Adventures in Wonderland).[3]
The satire is aimed at the Czechoslovak society, and the movie was soon banned after its release in 1970.[2] That meant also the end of Juráček's career.[3]

gollark: We'd need some kind of protocol where you actively exchange information to stop you from just "verifying" that you know it's 1, 2, 3, 4, ....
