On the night between 14th and 15th March 1939 Emil Hácha, the president of Czechoslovakia, was faced with a crucial dilemma: should he sign or should he refuse the agreement with the German occupation of the Czech lands? This TV film by Pavel Háša develops a personal drama about loyalty to one's conscience and the responsibility for the others. (Summer Film School)
