synopsis
A routine day of two smalltown police officers, Pavel (22) and Michal (49), suddenly turns upside down when they become the first patrol who has to secure the crime scene of a mass shooting at a restaurant where hostages are still being held. This event is inspired by a real-life tragedy that took place in Uherský Brod, the Czech Republic, in 2015. An attacker murdered eight people and himself. However, this is not a reconstruction of this disaster, nor an attempt to portray the reasons for the killer’s actions, but a subjective story of two colleagues and friends who, despite being professionals, are afraid, disagree with each other and make mistakes. During the nerve-wracking intervention, they are also capable of inconspicuous acts of heroism and humanism that bring them closer together and make them better policemen and more empathetic human beings.
