Czech Republic | 2022 | 53 min.

The development and shaping of the political views of several young people from different social backgrounds and schools – apprentice school kids to private high school students – just before the elections in autumn 2021 in relation to their social environments. Young people hold political stances across the political spectrum, from ANO to SPOLU to PirSTAN. It is thus a collective portrait of one generation, its ideas about adulthood, the future, and state of our society.
