Stano wanted to blow up a Communist party viewing platform. Fero plotted the assassination of Gustáv Husák, long-time president of Czechoslovakia. Vladimír blew up billboards and dropped masses of protest flyers from the sky.
The men re-enact their former deeds in the film, whilst also revealing what their lives are like today. Stano is looking for a wife. Fero lives with his wife and two adolescent sons, who he teaches how to build bombs and drive getaway cars. Vladimír gives training in self-defence and resistance techniques to a young woman. Their peculiar relationship carries a sexual charge, uniting these two fierce outsiders who are ready to take up the struggle at the drop of a hat.
With equal parts humour and ambiguity, the film blurs the boundaries between reality and fiction and heroism and stupidity. Laconically and with a quiet sense of irony, the film tells the story of people caught between totalitarianism and rebellion.
