Five high school students, having passed their matriculation exams, meet in a pub, and each proclaims his ideal in life. One vows to devote his life to science, another to women, the third sees the meaning of life in money, the fourth observes the sprouts of poetic genius in himself. And the fifth - named Unearthly - claims that these dreams and ideals are not worth a penny, like the entire earthly world with its “virtues” and “values”. And it is his prophecies that come true 30 years later...

"Human tragicomedy" by the Czech philosopher and writer Ladislav Klima (1878–1928), who embodied both in his work and in life the ideas of extreme individualism and the idea of the world as the creation of a superhuman will - combines paradoxical black humor and merciless mockery of philistine morality, the concept of theodicy and colorful and menacing descriptions of life in “Postmortalia”. One of two plays written by Klíma (the first, entitled “Matej the Virtuous,” was removed from the repertoire of the Prague National Theater immediately after its premiere in 1922 due to public protests), “Human Tragicomedy” was published only in 1991, more than half a century after death of the author. In the same year, "Human Tragicomedy" was first presented on the theater stage. The extremely successful production by Arnošt Goldflam contributed to the growing interest in Klima's heritage, not only in the Czech Republic.
