Synopsis
Mirek returns to the country after a two-month sojourn in Western Europe. His wife Slávka and two small children come to welcome him at the airport. But the man is weird and taciturn, indifferent to the questions of both his wife and kids. He then asks Slávka to accompany him to the police where he wants to make a statement. The closing title tells us that 112 Czechoslovak citizens voluntarily registered at the police upon their arrival from abroad and reported they had been approached to spy against Czechoslovakia.
