A thrilling film based on a story written by director Jan Nemec, takes place between Prague and Vienna in the dramatic year of 1968. An Austrian journalist, Helmut Zilk, while filming in Prague, meets a rebellious Czech director, Jan David, and his beautiful girlfriend Eva, an actress. A passionate battle for the heart of Eva begins between the successful journalist and the rebellious artist, each of them offering her a future of their own. The love triangle continues to develop throughout the August occupation of Prague during which Jan manages to record the brutality and violence of the invaders. The film needs to be quickly presented to an international audience. Paradoxically, the only way out is represented exactly by Zilk. But how can one trust a man who is being involved in dark dealings of the Czechoslovak secret police?
