Depresivní děti touží po penězích

Venuše ve Švehlovce / czech / 130 min

Political theatre about a denounced president.

History always remembers only monsters
Monsters get attention
Monsters have power
Monsters have women
Monsters can terrify
Monsters arouse compassion

A magnificent shadow of a once powerful president inches through the corridors of a vast residency,
side by side of his wife’s shadow – huge, although a bit apathetic. Omnipresent counsellors bouncing
from one room to another then join in the shadow play reminiscent of a bustle of night moths, a
silhouette of a press officer shows as a thin flexible line, almost invisible, and all that is observed by a
pair of eyes in the darkness of a distant corner – are they eyes of destiny or eyes of the president’s
rejected daughter?
