Sıkıcı bir işe ve rutin bir evlilik hayatına sahip sıradan bir adam olan Eugene, rüyalarında kırmızılar içinde, genç ve güzel bir kadın görmeye başlar. Bildiklerine benzemeyen bu rüyaya o kadar takılır ki, bir psikanalist görmeye karar verir. Rüyadan kurtulmak için değil, görmeye devam edebilmek için. Bu seanslar, aynı rüyayı her gece başka biçimlere, Eugene'in hikâyesini de farklı boyutlara taşır.

Inspired by true events of the 1989 Czech and Slovak Velvet Revolution and Václav Havel's controversial release of 23000 prisoners. In addition to the story of three families affected by communist persecution, the film Amnesty also deals with the uprising of prisoners in Leopoldov, which required military intervention. The uprising was preceded by a broad amnesty granted by Václav Havel in January 1990, just a few days after his election as Czechoslovak president.

The story tells about a girl who was poor, but on the other hand so good and hardworking that she received a special gift from fate. A spinning wheel on which she could spin golden threads. And there was a count who liked her, but he liked the gold she brought with her to his house even better. And because he was greedy and wanted more and more gold, he decided that he too would weave the threads, even if his fingers were to fall off. And so he wove and wove, forgetting all that was good and beautiful around him. The girl, his friends, the whole world. But until then, the golden threads are woven, until the yarn breaks and fate says enough...
