This strange little film is a series of antinuclear vignettes told with a sure sense of black humor and directed by some of West Germany's "New Wave" talent. In one of the sketches a group of U.S. astronauts sits in a spaceship and a group of Russian cosmonauts in another, discussing the results of World War II. Other episodes deal with nuclear fallout, contamination, and the stress put on Europe by American and Russian insistance on planting missile bases on European soil. A scattershot effort that only occasionally succeeds.
