Audiovisual comeback to the near past, when the Prague neighbourhood of Vinohrady witnessed a disappearance of the building complex Transgas – a unique exemplar of early use of high-tech style with Brutalist elements. Part of the film is set in the decorative cinema Lucerna as a reminder of the paradoxical misunderstanding of the architecture from the second half of the 20th century, which unlike the Art Nouveau palace is much closer to us, both in time and meaning.
