What he does not know is that he and his fellow traveler, the Czech-born Martina Schepelern, are being watched by exactly this system and captured in a report that is now in the national archive. Barfoed and Schepelern returns to Prague 22 years later with this report in their hands. For this report turns out to reveal a totalitarian Eastern Europe - much worse than they, and everyone else, knew about at the time. The journey offers a joyful reunion with Vaclav Havel, who since receiving the award became free Czechoslovakia's first president; but it also becomes a gloomy and far from nostalgic look at the past.
