For 30 years, director Jan Šikl has collected amateur films from families in his community. Then one day, he was brought archival materials—films shot by Czech military cameramen—which had remained hidden for over half a century. Jan accomplishes what seems impossible; he searches for the people immortalized in the footage—soldiers, students, and workers. Memories of specific events are vividly brought back to life, portraying history and its relevance to the present.
