Martin and Tomas leave Prague on Christmas Day for "that other
country." Although their destination is the mountains, their
departure has been initiated by a search for their own
identity--people in their country have become alike, losing their
individuality and becoming products of a totalitarian regime. The
pair become the guests of a high school teacher, but Martin falls
in love with the teacher's daughter only to lose her in a police
suppression, and the Other Country is revealed as a merciless
machine of oppression that throws its people into despair.
