Synopsis: Set against the backdrop of post-war Czechoslovakia in the spring of 1948, the story follows the gripping journey of Josef Hasil, a 24-year-old cook in the National Security Corps in Zvonková. Having survived the war in a German labor camp and fought alongside partisans, Hasil has no interest in politics. Now, he most desires fun, adventure, and liberty. However, as the Iron Curtain descends, the rapidly closing borders and looming fears of World War III thrust him into the perilous world of smuggling. Hasil’s unparalleled knowledge of the Šumava mountains enables him to navigate the treacherous path from East to West, making him an invaluable asset to those seeking freedom.
