The film, which, despite its medium-length, has been one of those Czech films that have had and have an excellent reputation at various foreign screenings and retrospectives for forty years, is “a Kafkaesque depiction of absurd situations related to the cult period, the absurdity of which we were not even aware of”. To explain the title: the figure to support is a stone being on whose shoulders rests a great weight. Here, specifically, the weight of fate, not allowing Mr K. to return in all fairness the borrowed house cat. The historical period in question has long since ended, but the search continues to this day.
