It is 1947 and the time favors sensuality, extravagance, humor and endless expectations. Ivan Heinz, a handsome dandy and a witty provocateur, has just turned 19. He is on the run from home to set out for an unconventional pilgrimage celebrating freedom and artistic ideals. He lives with the present moment, with admiration to surrealism and beautiful women. Life seems to be great as long as you enjoy it in a cigarette smoke, slightly drunk with liquor, with fascinating, beautiful and experienced women on your side. Ivan writes poems and plunges enthusiastically into a devastating romance with independent and bisexual Jana. The fresh lovers fully enjoy their action lives full of inspiring erotic games, fights, bursts of laughter, contemporary dance music but also dramatic political changes. However, the communist regime starts to show its repressive face. But Ivan and Jana are like light-footed dancers on a razor blade. It is not important what will be tomorrow. It is important what is now and how strongly you can love me! They avoid the obligation to work, make fantastic plans for the future, live on minor thefts and plan to escape to Paris. However, the collision with power comes hard and unexpected... (official distributor synopsis)
