Description In the not so remote totalitarian regime, four neurotic bureaucrats toil away in the bowels of the Department of Information. Coded messages are translated and bleeping lamps herald important news from Central Office.
In the midst of this darkly hilarious setting, the men dream of meadows in the summer breeze, the tender touch of maternal hands and the pretty girl next door. But up above ground level things are changing and the alluring aroma of baking bread signals all is not quite right.
