Jan Palach. The student, who burned himself in 1969 to protest the Soviet invasion to Czechoslovakia. An uncompromising young man who brought the ultimate sacrifice in a hope to rouse the nation from lethargy. His name is known to everyone in the Czech Republic. The motion picture tells the last months of Palach’s life. It describes his path from an affectionate son, a devoted friend, a sensitive and thoughtful philosophy student to the “Torch number 1”. Two other deaths by self-immolation followed in the occupied Czechoslovakia but the communist regime helped by Soviet tanks regained full control over its citizens for 20 more years.
