In August 1968 the armies of five countries entered Czechoslovakia. 50 years later five directors form these countries are making short movies about the occupation, from the perspectives of the people who took part in it. The main question is how does the individual act face to face with a “major” event. The films ask the question, what role does individual responsibility or ethics play here, and what happens to a person the moment he has to choose between saving a life and following orders.
