Hynek Bočan's raw psychological drama deals with the Communist fifties and the dissolution of the cult of Stalin. The plot unfolds at a work camp designated for political prisoners. Paradoxically, after the change in the political climate, one of the facility's former high functionaries comes to discover the relativity of the term justice. (official distributor synopsis)
