For 23 years, Helena Třeštíková followed the story of actor and stage director Jakub Špalek.

Back then, Jakub dreamed of running his own theatre company which soon came true - he is still in charge of Kašpar Theatre in Prague. The film documents the difficult life of an independent theatre manager, as well as his many personal struggles and joys.
