Does drug use only have negative effects? Although politicians and a large part of society fight against narcotic substances, these substances are as old as humanity itself and it is impossible to completely get rid of them... Leading addictologists and psychiatrists explain the situation in the Czech drug world in six fifteen-minute episodes. How and why a person becomes addicted, which specific substances are most prevalent in the Czech Republic, what are their negative and positive effects or risks, how to prevent children from falling into the trap of drugs... Another of the works of director Ivo Bystřičan soberly clarifies the complex topic of drugs, without big emotions, from different points of view and with regard to the societal impact. The film is also full of humor in the form of archival footage illustrating substances so well known to Czechs.
