This satirical comedy by Jindřich Polák was inspired by the science fiction short story by Josef Nesvadba. The central motif of the story is the attempt by several former Nazis, who survive until a future in which time travel is possible thanks to anti-ageing pills, to deliver a hydrogen bomb to Hitler and thus change history. The film is extremely gimmick-heavy; in the plot, which returns several times from the future to the past and vice versa, we encounter more and more doppelgangers of the main characters, in particular the twins Jan and Karel Bures, played by Petr Kostka. Jiři Sovák, Vlastimil Brodský and Vladimír Menšík are introduced as nimble but unfortunate Nazis.
