running time: 105 min.
synopsis
Thirty-seven-year-old Dalibor lives with his mother and works as an industrial painter. In his spare time, he makes bizarre internet videos in which he vents his neo-Nazi beliefs. For him, the ideology of the radical right is mainly a palette of phrases, images and outcries, and his skinhead appearance is a mask behind which he hides his fear and position as an outcast. This absurd portrait of a personality irresistibly drawn to the camera lens utilises the modern obsession with self-presentation. According to Dalibor, the world should be pure and beautifully transparent. Instead, it resembles his drab room, where he sleeps on a not-so-comfortable couch.“Some of the footage was created using the so-called documentary reconstruction method. Every time we went back to Prostějov, we first interviewed our protagonists about what new things had happened in their lives and what they thought should be in a film about them.”
