Storyline

The story takes place in a pub. It's Monday and the bar is closed. The chairs are on the tables, except in a corner of the room where six members of an amateur theatre group have met up for what looks like a rehearsal. On a raised platform across the room, the scenery has been set for the second act of The Life of the Insects, a satire by the Brothers Čapek. Insects' costumes hang on a coathanger.
