The president, hoping to distract from the incident, enlists his friend, the local fire chief, to set fire to the back of the factory, assuming the fire will cause the women to flee.

Production
The film was Péter Tímár's directorial debut;
the script came together as a combination of his previous short films, and stories he heard from producer
Péter Bacsó.
He decided to shoot film with actors acting out the scenes backwards; the footage was then flipped during edit, causing the actors to act in an odd jerky motion resembling of early silent movies;
while initially apprehensive, he was relieved to find that the actors found the
dailies
In filmmaking, dailies are the raw, unedited footage shot during the making of a motion picture. The term comes from when movies were all shot on film because usually at the end of each day, the footage was developed, synced to sound, and print ...
hilarious.
Tímár also composed music of the film on a single analogue
drum machine, which he found appropriate for a film about a factory.
