Jiri Suchy has influenced several generations during his sixty creative years. He is considered to be a great Czech poet who enriched the cultural richness of this country - Czech language, with unprecedented song lyrics and theatrical texts. Within sixty years he introduced 97 plays in Semafor Theater, wrote 1 400 song lyrics and composed music to 500 songs. This documentary is about life path of a man, who dedicated his talent to theatrical and musical creation and beside that he lived his personal and civic life while struggling with regime’s disfavor and his personal fate. His life was twice affected by great losses– first a sudden death of Jiri Slitr, a congenial composer and second, a death of his wife, designer artist Bela Sucha.
