For a seventy-year period, when America cared little about the education of African-Americans, and discrimination was law and custom, The Bordentown School was an educational utopia. An incubator for black pride and intellect, it taught values, discipline, and life skills to generations of black children. This is the story of that remarkable school, as told by Bordentown alumni, historians, and remarkable archival footage. It is also the story of black education in America across three centuries, presenting a nuanced, rarely seen portrait of a separate black space; and a much-needed preface to the growing national discussion about historically black institutions and their role in nurturing identity and accomplishment. What was lost and what was gained in the march toward equality?

Petr Vok (Martin Ruzek) changes entirely after the death of his wife Katerina, although in fact he has not been particularly fond of her. He is uninterested in women, and is often gloomy and silent. Vok also resists the amorous snares of the Countess of Montfort (Iva Janzurová), who would like to take Katerina's place. His friends and family try to distract the noble lord, but without success. Neither graceful young girls nor the sight of his court full of his illegitimate children cheers him up. Vok receives a visit from the Archduke Matyás, who wants to persuade him to join a conspiracy against the Emperor Rudolf (Zdenek Rehor). Vok refuses, and on the contrary saves Rudolf from his enemies in his steam coach.
