The young couple lives across the street from the shuttered Discoland Sylvia that became famous in the early 90s as a meeting place for the business, cultural and political elite and the criminal underworld. A building personified by its co-owner, the mythical Ivan Jonák. But the couple is too young to remember this time. The accidental discovery of an old shilling note awakens their interest in the disco building. They enter the abandoned place several times, where they find relics of the early 90s. Uncovered history leads them to reflect on today's Czech reality influenced by the events of the socio-economic transformation. Finally they visit the mystery site at night and to their surprise find a community of dancing 50-somethings "fighting against the communists". Just as Jonak wished.
