The March occupation in 1939 led everyone astray. How did those who were most visible cope with the dramatic change in circumstances? The ones that the audience loved and didn't want to give up? Actors who wanted to act and whose Czech language, heard from cinema screens, strengthened the nation? What price did they have to pay for their work under German supervision?

Anti-German student demonstrations as part of the anniversary of the founding of the republic were bloodily suppressed by the Nazi authorities, and student Jan Opletal and bakery worker Václav Sedlácek paid for their brave protest with their lives. More than a thousand students ended up in a concentration camp after German raids on university dormitories.

Come the 1950's, most people put on their second face - a mask under which some remain silent, others quietly resist, and others use it as a completely new face. The era of two faces has begun, which will last for a long time. However, in 1968 there was a relative half-life, and in its tragic conclusion, the framework of stories from the life of Barrand's Bohemia takes place.
