Official distributor's text:^[3]

"The hero of this joyless, if predominantly amusing outlook on military life in the year 1953 is staff sergeant Danny Smiřický (with autobiographic traits of J. Škvorecký), encountering, along with his friends, the idiocy and "bossing around" of the officer corps. It follows Dany's love flick with the wife of one of the officers, Janinka Pinkasová, his memories of the unapproachable Prague girl, Lizetka, and mostly how he doggedly resists officer stupidity, accosting him from every direction."

The cast included many unknown actors and actresses; it established them as stars; among them: Simona Chytrová, Michal Suchánek, Martina Adamcová, Ivana Velichova, Milan Šimáček.
