The year 1968 came and went, and the world—at least for us—began to change dramatically. Few people expected the change to be so great and so bad. Dark premonitions are slowly coming true, and everyone must live through their own. Even Lukáš Knapp, a twenty-year-old singer and the driving force behind the rock band Klub osamělých srdcí (Club of Lonely Hearts). A young man at the peak of his youthful self-confidence, who has no doubts about the correctness of his thoughts and feelings, who feels no need to compromise with the times, who wants to live in truth and despises lies, begins to slide down a spiral that spares no one and nothing. Not even the music he plays and worships. It is truly a story from a time that was not worth much, but which cost many of the young people of that time everything. It was a time that brought even rebels and free spirits, such as rock musicians undoubtedly are, to the edge of their true inner courage, but also their humanity.
