Zusammenfassung:"The film explores the shocking behind-the-scenes events of the longest running case in the history of the Czechoslovak judiciary that began in 1976, when a body of a 19-year old student of medicine, Ludmila Cervanova, was found in [the] river in the middle of a small village in Western Slovakia. The girl was drowned alive and although there were no traces of violence found on her body, yet the police claimed she had been raped. It was a case that was paraded in the communist mass-media at the end of which seven men were found guilty of this ... crime. They are the same individuals who today proclaim their innocence and claim that they were caught up in the middle of a grand-scale political-judiciary conspiracy. ... The crime becomes a means to portray the mechanism of fear, absurdity and a strange way of directed fate - spanning the era of Normalization to this day."--
