Czech anti-immigration and anti-Islam activists have decided to start building an empire. But do they really believe what they preach? And how is this activity perceived by those around them? The film, three years in the making, is generally about the rise and fall of the popularity of right-wing populist parties and specifically follows the failed political career of Petr Hampel and Martin Konvička. Amateur reporter Tomáš Měšt'an also comes to the fore, first as a cameraman and then as an active co-creator of conspiracy stories.
Swifts spend their entire lives in the air. They sleep while flying and are among the fastest birds in the world. The camera captures what their great speed makes impossible to see with the naked eye, the space-time of the swift's flight in the form of stages of flight, trajectories and curves. Swifts as a form of joy in the air as a form of home.
According to the leading Czech Egyptologist, professor Miroslav Barta, more and more signs of the impending collapse of our society are coming.

What does a drone pilot operating on a peacekeeping mission in an unnamed country see on his monitor? We are slowly getting used to the stream of variously distorted images of so-called strategic targets. Along with the ability to see human beings, animals and landscapes in crumbling shapes, sensitivity to who is watching is increasing. The poem Three Economic Units by Tomáš Čada is the source for the film.
The possibility of dialogue on the Ukrainian crisis, as seen from the West and from the East. A debating contest meets a telephone call by Vladimir Zhirinovsky to the Ukrainian minister of the interior. Stuck in the middle is man in all his nakedness.
