Jiří Mádl's period film Waves shows the thrilling and hitherto secret stories of Czechoslovak Radio journalists. At the end of the 1960s, when rock 'n' roll was blasting from the airwaves and student revolts were changing the world, the older of the brothers joins the prestigious radio newsroom. He soon finds himself in a dangerous battle between editors and the secret services. In the whirlwind of events, everyone's life is soon on the line, and the protagonist faces a stark choice: protect his brother, or protect the truth and his colleagues? The film is inspired by the true story of a group of journalists from the international desk of Czechoslovak Radio and their determination to bring independent news at any cost
