The 17th of November, 2008. Litvinov, Czech Republic. A demonstration of the Workers' Party is followed by an counter-demonstration held by the Roma people. The police and the local authorities are at the scene and are trying to manage a pretty tense situation, having to resort to arrests. A capital moment for the history of Litvinov emerges when the locals join the far right demonstration, counter to the Romani. The author of the documentary, who also captured the event on tape, gathers participants from all the parts involved in the conflict, including journalists and NGO's officials, confronting testimonials with the images caught on camera, in the hope of finding out the truth behind the scenes.
