In what way does it help people to answer the fundamental questions of life? How well can somebody brought up in an ex-communist country conform to the values dictated by a "brave new world"? And how well can a trainer brought in from the UK understand the (sometimes way too) Eastern European way of life? Péter's job is to film a team building weekend in a countryside mansion. He records the events of the weekend: the memorable moments as well as the humiliating ones, the team building, and the foreign trainer, George's sometimes cruel but efficient methods. Péter agrees to make a film in the end about the weekend. It is shown at the closing event, but the participants get more than they bargained for. A portrayal of society in a country that fought for and won its freedom. Or did it ever really win it?
