Who can judge past guilt? Who can forgive it? Can the time smooth its edges? Or the penance with which the guilty persons eventually try to save themselves? Jan Hřebejk´s drama based on Petr Jarchovský´s screenplay awarded with Cena Sazky (Sazka Award) creates an intricate chain of questions similar to one another and offers a whole range of often conflicting answers. The core of the story is created by the character of a renowned psychiatrist (Martin Huba), a moral authority, who is to gain an important state award on the occasion of the anniversary of the establishment of the Republic. The upcoming ceremony becomes the catalyzer of events brought up to the surface by the sins of the past that can cut his neck. (texto oficial do distribuidor)
