Otakar Vávra dedicated his latest film to events accompanying the devastation of the first World War. It takes place in representative centers of power, in the courts of Vienna, Berlin and Moscow. In parallel, it develops the fate of the Czech archivist, who will take part in the Serbian anti-Austrian branch.

The story takes place in a retirement home and creates a mosaic of the lives of old people who are trying to find a relationship with themselves and with life in these specific conditions. Each of its residents has a distinctive approach to life and its basic values.

Twenty-year-old Karel is expelled from Bata's school of work and has no choice but to make his way in his uncle Kubát's publishing business at any cost.

From time to time, we have produced an admirable film about the virtues of the domestic army, which raised the right men in ideal conditions - in this case, we meet the enthusiastic drill sergeants in green, who selflessly rehearse a demanding Spartakiad composition... So, two aspects important to the regime have merged into one. But even this did not change the incredulous, spasmodically optimistic yawn that perhaps even those who had set all this up could not believe. The film uses documentary footage of the soldiers' Spartakiada performance in 1980.

A story about the problems of an aging high school history professor, Barchánek, and his teenage son. Barchánek teaches at a technical school in the same class as his son Honza. However, he is not very impressed by his father's position at the school and his generous and understanding attitude towards the youth. Barchánek is unable to punish with bad grades. Honza is ashamed of his father and defies him. Both are thus put to the test – the son and the father, and his easily vulnerable goodness and belief in the responsibility of the rising generation, which must be understood and trusted...
