Through a mosaic of events, opinions, and happenings, Karel Vachek records the situation preceding the Czechoslovak elections in 1990. With subtle irony, he juxtaposes various phenomena and, on the screen, portrays the surprising socio-political context of the incredible whirl of the first free elections after the fall of the communist regime. The director is preoccupied with the abundance of goings on in the various social events, political ceremonies, and populist shows, where he is interested in every seemingly unimportant movement or subtle gesture, which transform the film into a diaphragm lens between the apparent and the concealed.
