Tomáš Baťa – first Czechoslovak businessman, founder of a global shoe empire, mayor of Zlín. First globalist, too, who sent out not only his products into the world, but also his own philosophy concerning business management, work and even life itself. Peter Kerekeš tries to answer whether the capitalism, as built by Baťa, is a utopia, or a real possibility. (Finále Plzeň)
