Five years after stepping down as President of the Republic, Vaclav Havel returns to the theater with a play that raises questions. A play that examines the ills of our society, and humorously depicts the pretentiousness of politicians. This film combines extracts from the play with moments from his life and family archives, many of which have never been seen before. For Vaclav Havel's life is his best work: somewhere between a fairy tale and a drama of the absurd. Nominated 16 times for the Nobel Peace Prize, he used his experience of power to continue upsetting the established order. Has his love of truth withstood the exercise of power? What influence does he still wield today?
