After a strike by underpaid, poorly housed metal workers in a Prague suburb is violently suppressed by the police, an angry mob attacks the luxurious home of the industrialist. A preview of the mentality of Czechoslovakia's future rulers --- and a not-so-miniscule part of the population -- who would launch a coup d'etat less than a year later to usher in Soviet-style socialism.

DVD-R is in Czech with switchable English subtitles. Approx. 74 mins. See film sample for audio and video quality!
