This is a story of how hope of a change materialised in Czechoslovakia
in 1989 during the 'Velvet Revolution', told through the experiences of
two Czech women and an Englishman during that period. It is set in the
Czech Republic in 1994, with recollections of the tide of circumstances
of the 'Velvet Revolution' in 1989 that affected the relationships of
the three central characters. It tells interwoven stories of the hopes
of the Czech people in 1989, their situation in the Czech Republic five
years later, and the man's hope in 1994 of a meaningful relationship
with one of the women having made what he feels was the wrong choice
between them four-and-a-half years previously. It is a tale of parallel
journeys; the journey of a country in 1989 and the journey of a man in
his life. Both have a journey of hope.
