Milouš Jakeš, as the high representative of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia, used to be the most powerful man of the republic. Already ninety-year-old man, he still raises strong emotions in society. The director, together with the protagonist, goes back in the footsteps of his past: from the beginnings of his career at the Bata factory to his final interdiction from the communist party. The film is interwoven with the archive footage of suppression of the anti-regime demonstrations and the former secretary himself is confronted with the personalities from the dissent. The documentary portrait shows an almost ascetic man with a firm belief in the correctness of the past state organization that suited his stern nature.
