CODE NAME RUBY

Jméno kódu rubín

A modern adult fairy tale on the age-old subject of alchemy weaves together science fiction and documentary footage with a love story. The White House has initiated a search for the Stone of Knowledge, soon realizing that it can only be created in Bohemia, through the true love of Michael and Ruby. Documentary shots (General Patton; Presidents Beneš, Havel and Eisenhower; Madeleine Albright and others), an expedition to the Moon and the assassinations of Heydrich and Kennedy are brought into context during the battle for the Stone, along with other secrets of the ancient alchemists. The plan succeeds but Ruby is willing to give up the unlimited power the Stone gives her when Michael's life is put suddenly at risk...
