CWhat Is to Be Done? (A Journey from Prague to Český Krumlov, or How I Formed a New Government)

Co dělat? (Cesta z Prahy do Českého Krumlova aneb Jak jsem sestavoval novou vládu)

Directing: Karel Vachek

Synopsis

Quite a few years have passed since November 1989. Czechoslovakia has been divided up and, in the Czech Republic, Václav Klaus’s right- wing government is in power. Karel Vachek follows on from his film New Hyperion, thus continuing his series of comprehensive film documentaries in which he maps out Czech society and its real and imagined elites in his own unique way. This time he joins the "opposition”: he leaves Prague and the official political scene and sets out in search of alternatives – on a political, cultural and existential level.
