One of the fundamental stories of our modern history. Five young men with guns, pursued by thousands of soldiers, touch the limits of their own fear and bravery in the fight for their lives. A family whose members defied Nazi and Communist totalitarianism. The Brothers, about a group of Mašín brothers, will premiere seventy years after their escape to West Berlin.

The Brothers tells one of the greatest stories of the Cold War about the resistance group of brothers Josef (Oskar Hes) and Ctirad Mašín (Jan Nedbal). The Mašín family becomes the target of persecution in communist-dominated Czechoslovakia and the brothers believe that, following the example of their father, a hero of the anti-Nazi resistance, the only way to fight the dictatorship is with a gun. At the same time, they are aware of their responsibility towards their mother (Tatiana Dyková Vilhelmová) and sister (Karolína Lea Nováková). They form a resistance group that is responsible for a series of violent acts, the investigation of which is entrusted to State Security Captain Koller (Stefan Konarske). The Mašíns become the most wanted men in the country. They attempt to escape to West Berlin, where they plan to join the American army in order to liberate Czechoslovakia. The search for the five resistance members continues in East Germany, where one of the largest manhunts in modern history begins. Few topics in Czech history evoke as much emotion as the story of Brothers.
