For ten years, Viktor was the most powerful man in Slovakia. When his political career ends and he is forced to step down as prime minister, he must return to “normal” life with his family. Suddenly a civilian, Viktor struggles with the realities of ordinary life and attempts to reclaim influence - only to discover that his own family no longer needs him either. What follows is a sharp comedy of political satire and personal crisis, as Viktor’s fall from power spirals into rowdy and absurd antics.
