The story of two friends who escape the boredom of their daily lives by starting a punk rock band is set in Prague in 1983 amidst the Communist-imposed period of "normalization" and the suffocating atmosphere under the rule of the secret police. The story, which Řeřicha also wrote, is based on personal experiences.
