In 2024, the new government in Slovakia is pushing through a radical change to the law, which would put independent public media under its control. Amid an atmosphere of deep uncertainty and growing fears of censorship, a strike committee forms within the institution. The camera thus witnesses the journalists' resistance, as they are forced day by day to defend their profession in a Don Quixote-like effort to confront the arrogance of power with civil dialogue.

The screening of the film will be preceded by the grand opening of the festival, combined with the presentation of the Elena Lacková Award.

The grand opening will be held in Slovak and will be interpreted into Slovak sign language and English.
