Этот фильм рассказывает о жизни и творчестве чешского композитора Бедржиха Сметаны. Уже в первых кадрах Сметана показан как выдающийся, признанный в Европе пианист.

Драматическую основу фильма и составляет борьба композитора и его друзей за организацию национального театра, за создание оперы с патриотическим сюжетом, за то, чтобы культура чешского народа получила всеобщее признание.
