Professor Málek who teaches classic philology at a grammar school tries hard not to think about the terror ensuing the assassination of Reich-Protector Heydrich. He prefers to stay immersed in the serenity of his beloved classical philosophy. All his life he has been following higher moral principles and he expects even the Nazi to comply with the ethical code. Only the arrest and execution of three innocent students bring him out of his shell to publicly condemn the despicable atrocities. (Summer Film School)
