"The resemblance to real events or persons is not coincidental." Gottland presents an unconventional view of the 20th century by FAMU students and recent graduates. The short story film presents peculiar fates - the love affair of actress Lída Baar with Joseph Goebbels, the story of the flying writer in the service of communist secret police Eduard Kirchberger, the Bata idea of belt production and the tragic decision of Zdeněk Adamec to burn himself to death in protest against the functioning of the social system.

The film was nominated for the 2014 Czech Film Critics' Award in the Best Documentary category.
