A secret agent willfully uses his power to destroy the lives of those who oppose the 1980s Communist regime in this engaging thriller, the first of its kind since the Velvet Revolution. In depicting the grim reality and despair that pervaded Czech life at the time, the film reveals a commonality among its characters, who are all looking for an escape.
