Lieutenant Pinkerton has fallen in love with the geisha Cio-Cio-San, known as Madama Butterfly, and wants to marry her according to Japanese custom without entering into a permanent relationship. But Butterfly truly loves Pinkerton and has a child by him. For years she waits in vain for the lieutenant to return. When Pinkerton does return, he arrives with his new American wife to pick up the child, and Butterfly stabs herself with a dagger.

Madama Butterfly

Bebelplatz

At his local Prague bar, the landlord Brouček has a reputation for being a petty philistine. He himself is tired of dealing with insolvent renters and dreams of getting away from all the daily hassle. When one night he has had one beer too many, his wish comes true in a miraculous way with two fantastic excursions: first, Brouček lands on the moon inhabited by a strange, overly intellectual society of artists. Then he finds himself in medieval Prague, stuck between the fronts of a battle between the confessions, and is about to go to war on the side of the Hussites.
