A compilation of archival footage telling the events of August 1968 from a distinctly Slovak perspective. Opening with reportage of a meeting of the Warsaw Letter signatories in Bratislava in July 1968, the film portrays the Soviet invasion and people’s responses to the arrest of Alexander Dubček, the reformist Slovak First Secretary of the Czechoslovakian Communist Party and principal architect of the Prague Spring.

The poverty of Slovak workers during the Great Depression during the Masaryk Republic reached such a level that it led to a well-organized strike. The capitalists and their minions tried by all means to break it. Even the workers who had not yet been elected soon recognized their place and supported the initiative of the communists, who selflessly led the strike movement. The poster-like, purely ideological story succumbs to paper-like dialogues and plots, and the narrative portrayal hardly convinces of the credibility of the whole story.
