A documentary tragedy that explores the shocking behind-the-scenes events of the longest unresolved case in the history of the Czechoslovak judiciary that began in 1976, when the body of 19-year old medical student, Ludmila Cervanova, was found in a river in the middle of a small village in Western Slovakia. Judicial manipulation, secret service games, physical and mental torture, blackmailing of witnesses, massive propaganda and hidden evidence are all uncovered in this haunting documentary.
