Allied by Direct Election (2007)

Spřízněni přímou volbou

The first direct presidential election marked a turning point for Czech society in several ways. For the first time, a majority of all participating voters decided on who would fill a high-ranking government post. However, the confrontational nature of the open clash of personalities also brought with it unprecedented excesses in the media and public arena. This basically observational documentary presents moments that mostly escaped the attention of ubiquitous journalists. Miloš Zeman smokes wherever he pleases, Karel Schwarzenberg has trouble articulating, and supporters of both parties race to praise the best candidate, whom they express support for in various ways.
