Plots(1)
The time is 1945-46. 10 year old Eda and his friend Tonda live in a small village outside Prague. In school, their class is so wild and undisciplined that their teacher quits and is replaced by the militant Igor Hnizdo. He is very strict - but also very just. His weakness is his interest in young women. (official distributor synopsis)
