About

The plot is centred on the attempt of a few former Nazis, living thanks to anti-ageing pills in an age when it is possible to overcome space-time differences, to deliver a hydrogen bomb to Hitler and change history. The film contains many challenging special effect scenes. In the plot, which repeatedly returns from the future to the past and vice versa, we meet ever-increasing doubles of the main characters, especially the twins Jan and Karel Bureš, represented by Petr Kostka. Jiří Sovák, Vlastimil Brodský and Vladimír Menšík are introduced as agile yet unlucky Nazis.
