Olga, a spirited 90-year-old gulag survivor, lives with her daughter Hana in a modest, aging home, their relationship marked by unspoken scars from the past. As Olga gains attention through her memoirs and public talks about her wartime ordeal, investigative reporter Dastychová, who appears to know more about Olga’s history than anyone else, prepares to expose a long-held secret.

Standa Pekárek has three wishes in life: to drive a volga, to drive for the Humour and Folk Entertainment editorial office and to drive Got'ák. The five-part miniseries Volha is an adaptation of the novel of the same name by Karel Hynia, written in an extraordinary, bizarre and precisely echoed language. It can be perceived as a peculiar history of Czechoslovak television with a number of incredible, albeit real, "stories from the set". At the same time, however, it is a portrait of its main character - a limited egocentric who excels in inventing small tricks and deceptions - how to steal petrol, fake mileage, cheat his wife, get rid of the competition. Logically, he then also becomes a StB collaborator (with the code name Volha) who informs on all his co-workers and passengers without any remorse.
