A pianist plays onstage accompanied by seven movie versions of himself, playing different instruments. A roller skater, chasing four girls who have boarded a bus, rolls downhill on the narrow streets of the oldest quarter of Prague, dodging pedestrians, cars, cops, beer carts, fire engines, lampposts.
