synopsis

Excerpts from the upcoming film examines the formation of the new political system in Czechoslovakia after 1968 and the circumstances surrounding its collapse in the late 1980s. Through the testimony of members of the ruling party during the peak of normalization, the film reveals their delusions, their lust for power, and their mutual differences, and the recently revealed backdrop of events leading to November 1989.
