A Czech travel agency advertises a tour of North Korea as a “journey into the unknown”. The group of 27 Czech tourists, including director Linda Jablonská, however does have an idea of what living in a totalitarian system means.

Jablonská's camera follows them during their trip to the last communist regime in the world, a country where dissidents live under appalling conditions in concentration camps. The tourists are only allowed to participate in a carefully prepared visit, an illusion thoroughly supervised by “guides”. But the North Korean system is starkly reminiscent of the Czechs' own past, so they can see through the mise-en-scène. Which emotions do these travellers experience and which memories do they relive?
