Deskový statek

A wild, absurd, yet utterly human comedy that ventures into Czech history, which might serve as an apology for the present. Yet let us never say - this could not have happened before.

Early 20th century, Prague's Žižkov district and local elections. The owner of a real estate agency and an adjoining shop with wealthy women of ill repute wants to become mayor and is willing to do just about anything for it. Unscrupulous political pragmatism, emotional cynicism, ends that justify any means.
