The film MeÄiar is the confession of the young director Tereza NvotovĂĄ about VladimĂr MeÄiar and the influence that this politician had on Slovak society, but also on the life of Tereza herself. When the totalitarian communist regime fell in Czechoslovakia in 1989, Tereza was one year old. The leaders of the Gentle Revolution then decided to hold an audition for the Minister of the Interior, to which VladimĂr MeÄiar, an unknown business lawyer from the Slovak countryside at the time, applied. After success in bankruptcy, VladimĂr MeÄiar reaches the political top, from where he rules the country with a series of questionable practices. Against the background of events such as the division of Czechoslovakia or the kidnapping of the son of the president of the Slovak Republic, Tereza and her peers relive their childhood.
