This period drama reveals the tense, hidden stories of Czechoslovak Radio journalists. In the late 1960s, as rock 'n' roll filled the airwaves and student revolts shook the world, an older brother joins the station’s prestigious newsroom – only to find himself caught in a dangerous clash between reporters and secret police. As the stakes rise, he faces a brutal choice: protect his brother or stand by the truth and his colleagues.
