Synopsis
The Slovak government’s motto is: “The less educated the nation, the more votes for populists.” So schools are short on funding and students are emigrating in droves due to the acutely felt political gloom.
Bratislava grammar school students begin their last year full of optimism but end up disappointed by the parliamentary election result as they watch the vote counting during their school-leaving celebration. The last straw is the assassination attempt on Prime Minister Robert Fico.
Students (and others) face the question of whether to stay in a country where incivility and crassness prevail or to seek their fortune beyond its borders. Through young people, the documentary opens the question of “Where are you heading Slovakia?”
