synopsis

The film shows the activity of students of the Film and TV School of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague (FAMU) during the Velvet Revolution in 1989. Through the confrontation of archives, memories of former students – now figures of the cultural scene – and the input of current students, it examines the most important political initiative of the film school students in the late 1980s.
