Retiree Petr Černý is a familiar face. For 7 years he was the moderator for Czech Independent Television – a constant on the Czech disinformation media scene. He thinks people should help each other, even giving shelter to a stranger caught in the debt trap, but Petr Černý doesn’t believe in housing refugees and sees their arrival as part of a plan to destroy Europe. Director Ondřej Šálek take a look at the personal life of one of the key players on the Czech disinformation scene. This film is not a non-participatory probe. Šálek argues with Černý and his friends, but also tries to understand the overall complex nature of his protagonist – a person in whom a fear of refugees and faith in conspiracy theories is mixed with a tendency towards the spiritual and a certain type of inner kindness.
