During his short life, Milan Rastislav Štefánik accomplished many extraordinary feats in the pursuit of his nation's liberation and the founding of Czechoslovakia. A man of many facets and professions, he left his mark on the history of several nations. This two-part documentary examines his personality from three distinct historical perspectives: French, Czech, and Slovak. Through these viewpoints—complemented by previously unpublished photographs—we piece together a comprehensive portrait of one of Slovakia’s most significant figures.
The seven members of the gypsy band Lomnické Čháve come from a Roma settlement and dream of making it big. Sensitively observed and with uplifting music the film tells the story of their journey, struggles, enthusiasm, failures and perseverance.
Marian Kuffa, a charismatic parish priest and a man of action, with his 'children', former convicts, the homeless, and drug addicts, has embarked on his most difficult mission. He has decided to help the poorest Roma to survive the cold and biting frost in their modest, hastily built dwellings in Roma slums in eastern Slovakia. Together with him, we get acquainted with the Roma ethnic group from a completely different angle.

Milan Rastislav Štefánik was the first Slovak to circumnavigate the world, to climb Mont Blanc, to survive the shooting down of his ice-plane during World War I. He was an intellectual, scientist, inventor, astronomer, national hero, but also a lover of women and a bon vivant. 100 years ago, everyone considered his dreams a utopia, but he was not afraid to step into the unknown and realise his dream of liberating his own nation. His life story seems almost unbelievable, considering that he did it all as a single man in failing health, from the poorest of circumstances.
