First Patrol
A routine day for two small-town policemen, young Pavel and the experienced Michal, is turned upside down when they become the first patrol to arrive at the scene of a mass shooting at a restaurant with hostages still inside. Despite being professionals, the two colleagues are afraid, disagree about how to proceed, and make mistakes.
