When the famous detective Nick Carter visits Prague, he becomes involved in a strange case of a missing dog and an even stranger carnivorous plant. He becomes convinced that he is standing against his greatest enemy – the Gardener, who supposedly died years ago in a swamp... A monumental film produced in the aftermath of the Czech New Wave that remains fascinating even four decades after its first screening.
