It is the 1960s and a young, idealistic teacher starts his career in a youth detention centre where he is confronted with the hypocrisy of his uneducated colleagues and murderous aggression of the inmates. One of the banned Czech movies, shelved by the government before it could be finished. (Summer Film School)
