Karel Vachek's 200-minute documentary novel depicts the nearly six months leading up to the first free election in post-Velvet Revolution Czechoslovakia. Vachek entrusted the lens to kindred cameramen Ivan Vojnár and Karel Slach. Personalities FROM Czech political and cultural life star in performances pieced together INTO a new relation to the grotesque theater of the world. (official distributor synopsis)
