Zamatoví Teroristi plot

The film tells about the terrorist acts of persons in the period of "normalization" in Czechoslovakia. Their efforts often went unrealized. They were isolated heroic cries in the homogeneous gray mass of society. The film looks at aspects of ethics, irrationality and terrorism and the deadly violence in the world today. The theme focuses on three protagonists. The first wanted to blow up the stage during Labor Day in the 1970s. The second wanted to assassinate the president and launch an anti-communist revolution, but his letter to the CIA was so naive that he never received a response. The third destroyed billboards. At that time, their actions were considered crimes, but today they are regarded as heroic deeds.
