Sinopsis(1)
The world of politics has a number of typical features: expansiveness, an effort to dictate the rules of the political game, to increase the powers of all players, to politicize significant social issues, to fill all important posts according to party affiliation, and to maintain power without any glitches, ensuring one's own political influence also for the future. These became most evident during the period of so-called "opposition contract", i.e., between the years 1998 - 2002. The film explores the negative attributes through a number of basic issues: How can power be usurped in a democracy? At the end of the 1990s, the two largest parties and their leaders came to understand that they could join forces and gradually simplify the political system to suit their needs. What steps did they take? (Doc Alliance Films)

A very refreshingly presented recap of just what went on in the Czech political arena toward the end of the nineteen nineties. Perhaps the first movie with the balls to go under the surface and be confrontational, it’s full of information and still to the point. Although in terms of opinion it is rather one-sided, but sincere; and could they really offer any reasonable counter opinion. A regular publicist show with a similar focus is sorely missing from Czech TV screens. And one swallow doesn’t make a summer, especially when it flies in ten years after the fact. We want current affairs, but current, for goodness’ sake!
