This film is a multi-portrait of a development of Czech thinking and feeling in a post-communist era after 1989 centralized around a philosopher and leftist Christian Karel Floss. His ideas about God, truth and politics circle as satellites around statements of strongly opposing personalities from Noam Chomsky, Alain Badiou and Slavoj Zizek over Tomas Halik, Milan Knížák and Vaclav Klaus to Daniel Kroupa, Milan Kohout and Andrew Slačálek. Helena Všetečková’s film with subtle irony builds on a semantic counterpoint, situational humour and alienating formal elements. The film creates an audiovisual riverbed through which flows a canalized anger of a nation resembling a child who is learning to think and knows not what to relate first – because in a sense, actually „Everyone is right.“
