Fiction

Historical drama based on real events about the communist regime influence on the ice hockey players of Czechoslovak national team and their friendship, family, life and health.

It’s the beginning of the 1960s. Two hockey legends, Bohumil Modrý and Augustin Bubník, live with the consequences of a mock trial in 1950 that cost them the best years of their lives. Former national heroes, they were imprisoned with teammates for allegedly plotting emigration to the West. Modrý suffers from a serious illness caused by uranium mine labor, while Bubník struggles with back pain but continues to play. More than physical pain, both are haunted by the question of betrayal. They suspect captain Vladimír Zábrodský, who avoided prison and later helped secure their release in 1955. New facts suggest otherwise, and in 1963 they reunite with their team, seeking truth and closure.
