The Ordeal

In recent years, people in Slovakia have stopped trusting the courts. Zuzana Piussi's documentary examines whether a purge of the judiciary is even feasible.

The law represents a fixed order of social relations. When this order is questioned, society finds itself immersed in uncertainty, in a fog. “Fog” is also the code name of the operation investigating the corruption of judges exposed in the Threema application found in the mobile phone of the infamous “entrepreneur” Marián Kočner. The documentary deals with what the Threema application exposed and the implications thereof. Through the (his)stories of the judges, entrepreneurs and ordinary people, the film maps out the consequences of the system of justice falling apart, which is fatal for the whole country, as well as for democracy.
