A ‘documentary opera’ reconstructing the life of a contradictory Czech composer and prominent communist Jan Kapr (1914-1988), a Stalin Award laureate who was later banned in socialist Czechoslovakia and erased from public memory. Director Lucie Králová starts a philharmonic dialogue with Kapr, by mixing newly composed opera songs (written by Jiří Adámek) with Kapr's never-before-shown private archive, revealing his humor, inner struggles and desire to leave a mark.
