Emil Zátopek, a Czechoslovak runner, becomes a famous figure after his outstanding participation in the Inter-Allied Games in Berlin in 1946. Despite the surveillance of the Czechoslovak regime, which tries to control his movements and statements, Zátopek remains invincible. He runs tirelessly, even when he is exiled to the uranium mines for supporting Dubček, and continues running while following the garbage truck in Prague. Not even Moscow can stop him. 'Running' is a work of fiction that explores the life of Zátopek, highlighting his resistance and indomitable spirit in the face of political and personal adversity.
