The life story of heroic war pilot František Truhlář, who became a member of the so-called Guinea Pig Club. After more than 60 years, the first film has been made about one of our homeland’s bravest fighters, whose heroism and love for his country will forever serve as a poignant reminder and a model of exceptional self-sacrifice. Based on the book by writer Vítek Formánek, narrator Zdeněk Svěrák guides us through the incredible life story of heroic war pilot František Truhlář, who voluntarily decided to leave his homeland in 1939 to fight for our freedom. However, he could never have known that his greatest enemy would become his own destiny. A destiny written in flames.
