Director Philippe Remunda often went with his operator to Ukraine. His family roots and close ties with local people allowed him to look into their personal and family life, and through it - into the very situation in a society, divided sometimes by polar opinions and political predilections. The history of the family, one part of which lives in the eastern part of Ukraine, and the other - in Kiev, becomes symbolic. Close relatives are no longer able to find a common language, discussing what is really happening in their country. During his travels, the director found himself behind the front line and chronicled the life of the population in the territories controlled by the separatists. Fatigue from a protracted war is visible from all sides, but the question of when the conflict will end, remains unanswered.

“Why do Czech tourists every year in beach shoes fall down the steep slopes of our coast, why do they sail into the open sea towards inevitable death on unsuitable catamarans? The fact is that in spirit they remain cartoon characters of our common past, Pat and Mat, Bolek and Lolek. They refuse to grow up, and I envy them,” says Croatian journalist Boris Dezhulovich in his article “The Unfortunate Tourist Švejk”. Will Croats help us see ourselves without rose-colored glasses? Is it possible to bring something else from a seaside vacation besides a tan and cleansed lungs? What does the fact that a million of us go on holiday to Croatia say about the Czechs? How do we dress there, where we live, how do we spend our days there, what do we eat, how do we have fun in the evenings?

An ironic film about how the mayor of one of the Czech villages decided to enter into an unequal battle with the United States of America itself. The mayor and the villagers try to thwart American plans to place a military base on their doorstep. The actors in this play are, in addition to fellow villagers, George W. Bush, Condoleezza Rice and Barack Obama, peace fighters and lobbyists representing the interests of American arms manufacturers. Will the mayor of the town of Trokavets with a population of eighty people be able to stand against the United States? The Czech World shows geopolitics in action and how it affects ordinary people. The personal collides with the impersonal, the concrete with the universal, and man with the so-called "great history".

His journey, his encounters with Russians, his reflections on democracy, the KGB, freedom and philosophy form the basis of this documentary comedy road movie.
