Jára Cimrman in the whirlwind of the past forty years, as discovered, recorded, and brought to life by the theater.
This film is a documentary-style look at the life of the beloved Czech actor, Zdeněk Svěrák.

The author expected that seeing the suffering of the teacher, principal, and inspector during their futile investigation would lead the culprit to regret his actions and confess. However, the stubborn boy, the son of a nun, was not moved.
