Petr Jílek, a freshly graduated teacher, gets the opportunity to teach at a private high school owned by his girlfriend's mother. His idealised notion of teaching young students soon hits hard reality. Ema, one of Petr's students, is looking for extra income to keep up with her classmates from wealthy families. However, her choice of part-time job brings her unexpected controversy in addition to money. In their senior year, three ambitious students - Oskar, Tadeáš and Robert - decide to apply to medical school. Before the entrance exam, however, they want to try dissecting a real human to get a head start on the other students. They start planning where they will find their victim. And last but not least, student Anička faces the challenges of wanting to be the only important person in her mother's life.

A film on the phenomenon of Czechoslovak politician Alexander Dubček, one of the most prominent personalities of The Prague Spring of 1968, the author of the concept of “socialism with a human face”. All Men Become Brothers shows internal, political, and social conflict of the time in a new light and in an age when most of the protagonists of this story no longer need to hide any secrets. Even if they do, the film seeks to uncover them. Therefore, its makers don´t shy away from staged situations, confrontations, or investigative filming methods.
