Synopsis

A film based on Eva Kantůrková's script dramatizes a secret and daring act of revenge. Set in the fifties, a young man is determined to pay the Communists back for taking away his father's hotel (where he now waits tables). Thanks to his consummate social skills, he is able to infiltrate INTO the highest Communist circles and pretend involvement in a secret mission. It all ends in a refined act of satisfaction.
