In 1980 Czechoslovakia, under the strict control of the Communist regime, two seminary students, Michal and Juraj, find themselves at a critical crossroads. Facing immense pressure from the Party, they must choose between complying with their demands or risking severe consequences. As their school struggles to survive, the pair confronts a difficult decision: betray their peers as informants or stand against the authorities in a tense exploration of moral integrity and resistance.
