synopsis
A focused and thorough look at the lifestyle and way of thinking of lobbyists who make a living promoting their clients’ interests in the European Union. Lobbying is any activity whose goal is to influence decision-making bodies and institutions of political power – it is the flesh and blood of the political process. The filmmakers present something that they themselves have called a “docu-thriller” – a personal dramatic look at the behind-the-scenes functioning of politics in the place where the European consensus is formed.
