About film

The documentary follows computer game developers from Brno who set up their own studio, establish cooperation with foreign partners and go against all odds to create and publish a computer game about the struggles of Czechoslovak legionnaires in post-revolutionary Russia.

The film is mostly an observational documentary that follows the protagonists of a computer company and their co-workers. It is interspersed with archival footage of Czechoslovakian legionnaires, scenes from the making of promotional videos and the short film Red Snow, interviews and of course footage from the video game itself.
