Václav is mild-mannered notary public who settles disputes with a calm appeal to reason. The qualities have made him a respected figure in the small Czech town where he lives with his loyal wife Vera and their two young children - but also a prime target of the Communist Party, who pressures him to join the ranks. Václav continues to refuse but the year is 1968 and Soviet tanks are already roaming the streets.
