What is the truth, and what is its colour, number and face? This is examined by edited slapstick on the eve of the first free elections in Czechoslovakia in 1990. In the orchestra of a newly post-totalitarian history, a new era is resounding. In a swarm of posters, slogans and proclamations, it is overlooked by a flock of people converging on the statue of Jan Hus with the executioner riding past in a red hood.
