Miko is a truck driver, his father is Romani, and above all he is a man who wanted to help those in need. When the Czech government was looking for reasons not to take in a few dozen children from Greek refugee camps after the chemical attacks on Syrian civilians in 2018, Miko took justice into his own hands and, together with the Czechs Helping initiative, prepared facilities for child refugees. However, government officials gave priority to political interests. Will parliamentary elections and a change of ministries save the situation? An unflattering but accurately portrayal of the Czech Republic as a country that will only offer a helping hand when it is worthwhile.

바르샤바 조약군의 체코슬로바키아 침략과 대중의 수동적인 행태에 대한 정치적 항의로 1969년 1월 16일, 프라하 바츨라프 광장에서 분신한 카렐대학교 역사학-정치경제학 학생인 얀 팔라흐에 관한 이야기이다. 이 영화는 역사적 사실을 바탕으로 침략에 대한 저항과 민주주의 투쟁을 국민에게 일깨우기 위해 자신의 삶을 희생한 한 대학생의 마지막 몇 달의 모습을 포착하려고 노력한다. 사랑하는 아들이자 헌신적인 친구이고 사려 깊은 학생이었던 그가 무엇 때문에 이렇게 과격한 행동을 취한 이유에 관해 생각하게 한다. 주인공은 여자친구인 헬렌나와의 관계, 1968년의 파란만장한 대학 생활, 어머니와의 삶과 소련과 프랑스의 자원 봉사와 같은 자신의 모습을 보여준다. 카메라는 영화 전반에서 얀의 얼굴에 초점을 맞추어 가까웠던 그 누구도 짐작하지 못한 그 결정의 순간을 포착하려고 한다. 20년이 지나 얀 팔라흐의 분신을 기리는 일명 얀 팔라흐 주간 동안 체코슬로바키아 국민들이 전체주의 정권에 맞서 시위를 진행했으며, 이로 인해 같은 해 11월 말에 공산주의 정권을 무너뜨리고 체코슬로바키아의 자유와 민주주의를 불러일으킨 벨벳혁명이 일어났다.

In the second half of the 18th century, Jeremy Bentham designed the model of a panopticon, a type of building that made supervision most effective. Panopticons were firstly used for prisons, places where supervision and punishment are the main functions. Secret services but also different surveillance technologies are the new panopticons. They can monitor, save and store data about people to identify them, to distinguish the location and time of people’s behaviour and actions. Architecture theorist, software expert, people who are or were monitored, or the former secret service agents explain their panoptical experience. Reading again Michel Foucault´s Discipline and Punish, through experience with different kinds of supervision, in the film we are looking for the perfect application of the panoptical principle.
