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. Within sixty years of Semafor Theater, its existence was five times in jeopardy. Jiri Suchy acted according to his best conscience despite sanctions that followed. Jiri Suchy's work is presented by the most famous hits from the Jiri Slitr era as well as current works of this seventy eight years old legend.
