The titles of the films themselves give us some cue regarding thewide straddle of this exhibition. Posters for films like Mlčení mužů /A Silence of Men/, Muži bez práce /Jobless Men/, Muž na útěku /A Man on the Run/, Muži v nesnázích /Men in Trouble/, Vesnice bez mužů /A Village Without Men/, Ztracený muž /The Lost Man/, Muž přes palubu /A Man Overboard/ only illustrate the uneasy and sometimes even dreary role of men in this world. On the other hand, posters for films like Muž se psem /A Man with a Dog/, Báječní muži na létajících strojích /Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines/, Muži a hory /Men and Mountains/, Muži v sedle /Men in the Sadles/and Muži a boj /Men and Fight/ let us look into many little amusements that man like to and apparently can enjoy. And posters for films like Muž z Hongongu /The Man from Hong Kong/, Muž z Mallorky /The Man from Majorca/ a Muž z Londýna /The Man from London/ confirm the well-known fact of men being birds of passages. The exhibition offers also the inevitable chapter of men’s life in posters for films like Muž a žena /A Man and A Woman/, Muž který lže /The Man Who Lies/, Muž pod postelí /A Man under the Bed/, Jak se přiznat svému muži /How to Confess to Your Husband/, S muži to není lehké /Men AreTough to Deal With/ which illustrate the eternal intricacy of a coexistence between a man and a woman. W.A. Schlosser’s poster for film Muž proti muži /As Man to Man/ is the one which brings the whole cycle of the tragical men’s existence to the end.
