The story takes place during the first post-war school year of 1945-46, on the outskirts of Prague. The protagonist is 10-year-old Eda Souček along with friend Tonda, experiences various boyhood adventures. But all of these pale in contrast with the brave, heroic deeds proudly recalled to the pupils by their new teacher – the strict, but fair patriot Igor Hnízdo. Hnízo arrives at the school like a bolt of lightning, replacing the worn-out teacher Maxová. The pupils are spellbound by this apparent hero in their midst – as are the various women who encounter Hnízdo, including Eda’s mother.
