Set in post-war Prague, the film follows Jarda, a young outspoken communist worker. He is indignant that his friends are not living up to the ideals of the utopian socialist dream. However, the country is in the midst of social change and he struggles to find his place in the new political climate, realizing that he will never achieve anything in the totalitarian society demanding daily labor feats...
