The film exposes political corruption in the Ukrainian parliament in minute detail. The two largest parliamentary parties — Petro Poroshenko’s “Bloc of Petro Poroshenko” Bloc and Yulia Tymoshenko’s “Batkivshchyna” — despite their public confrontation, were in fact cooperating fruitfully for money. The presidential faction paid political opponents to vote for ‘necessary’ laws. The investigation is based on correspondence from the mobile phone of fugitive MP Oleksandr Onyshchenko, who acted as an intermediary between the leaders of President Petro Poroshenko’s party and opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko. The facts revealed in the film demonstrate the scale of corruption that pervades high-level politics.
