documentary

Ever since his birth, a Slovak couple Michal and Lenka Hanuliak have been conducting a peculiar experiment on their now 4-year-old son Miško. They spend every minute raising him to one day become a successful athlete and a "quality human being" in all senses of the word. They have decided to sacrifice everything, including their own individual pursuits, to achieve this goal. This film captures their efforts for a period of one year and through raw scenes from the Hanuliaks family life, it raises a number of questions with regard to the meaning of parenting in today's society, single-minded focus on performance and the possible “robotization” of our lives.
