DUTCH PREMIERE
“Nationalism is an infantile disease; it is the measles of mankind”, Albert Einstein.
The documentary essay sets a mirror against contemporary Slovak society by pointing out the inability to consider language and history, which has led to the threat of new authoritarianism. In the film, we watch a young Ukrainian woman who is selected for a fictitious competition for a TV journalist, who attends a variety of events, people and public protests in order to understand Slovak social-political reality. Although the war in Ukraine is seemingly taking place in the background, it is also significantly affecting the current mood, societal tensions, language, and new forms of populism in the country.
