Král Sumavy plot
When the communists take control of Czechoslovakia in 1948, many people decide to flee to the West. At the same time, the Americans are sending armed freedom fighters across the border to the East. The government decides to close the border and the Iron Curtain is born. For years, however, the local residents knew ways to get across the border and smuggle people or goods. The most notorious smuggler was 'the king of the Bohemian Forest': elusive and a recognized marksman. However, the Czech border guards are doing everything they can to pick up this legend.
