In 1939, Czech diplomat Jan Masaryk flees to the United States to escape his recent past: Germany has invaded Czechoslovakia and he is now a man with no nation; because, as the Czechoslovak ambassador in London, he failed to win the support of the British and could not avert the fall of his country and the outbreak of the World War II.

As the shadows of Nazi occupation lengthen over a fractured Czechoslovakia, a displaced diplomat struggles to find a foothold in a world that has moved on without him. This portrait of political isolation captures the quiet desperation of a man stripped of his country and his purpose.
