Plot
Story revolves around the Editorial Office of International Life of the Czechoslovak Radio. It works under the leadership of Milan Weiner, a journalistic icon. Other journalistic icons include Věra Šťovíčková, Jiří Dienstbier, Luboš Dobrovský or Jan Petránek. Young Tomáš gets among them a bit by mistake as the work in the editorial office was the dream of his younger brother Pavel. Tomáš mainly cared about keeping both of them safe until now. Little does he know that the local editors are watched by State Security (StB). Recording which could change the fate of many appears drawing more interest from StB. Time is running out, tension is rising, action must be taken. Tomáš has to decide whether he becomes one of those who go down in history, or if he protects his underage brother who is his last family.
