During the communist regime, workers were receiving vouchers to spend their holidays in resorts in the mountains, etc. (This practice was started by the Nazis during their occupation of Czechia.) But there were no Czech resorts at the sea and the regime could not let their citizens travel to the sea because the people might find a way to escape to the West. So in 1975, Czech professor of economics Karel Zlábek designed a tunnel linking Czechia to the sea. The plan, relaying on approval by Yugoslavia, called for spoilage from the tunnel - which would have led beneath the territories of Czechia, Austria, and Yugoslav Slovenia - to be used to construct an artificial island in the Adriatic Sea, Adriaport. This fictional satirical documentary shows President Gustáv Husák speaking to Prof. Zlábek and visiting the island (Czech territory courtesy of Yugoslavia), as well as nostalgic visits by former beneficiaries of the seaside holidays - as long as they did not swim too far.
