Pérák is an action-packed historical fiction that combines elements of martial arts and stunts with typical verbal humor. But it is also a playful interpretation of the dramatic events of the Protectorate period: the feverish activity of a fictional resistance group – the Czechoslovak League of Exceptionals – is almost swept away by the unexpected strike of the incoming Reich Protector Heydrich, who arrives in Prague to restore order. Will the mythical Czech superhero Pérák save the day, using the springs on his feet to leap over Prague's fences, trams, and houses and harm the fascist occupiers? And does he even exist? Pérák introduces real figures from our history in incredible contexts.
