Not to lose his wife on the wedding day, to take care of the child, which is far from him, to get somewhere higher from Vyšehrad, or to fight with the practices of a certain football Daddy … He just rushes like an avalanche – from one problem to the other!

Karel Köcher is supposedly the most important communist agent to infiltrate the CIA. There are few reliable sources as to his activities, and so the filmmakers aim their camera primarily at the main protagonist. The result is an unconventional portrait that tells us more about a man living a double life than about any sensationalized spy activities. The mystery surrounding his actions also envelopes Köcher the individual: it is difficult to figure out what is going through the mind of someone so perfectly in control and capable of beating a lie detector.
