Synopse
Special interests, alliances and rules of the game are on the agenda when the 27 Heads of State elected the first President of the EU. The ambition was to find a strong leader, but the result turned out completely different: The new guy in power is unknown, never wanted the job, in fact, asked specifically not to get the job. In this film the EU's leaders speak frankly about each others' role in the whole process. "It's very funny, but also an alarming picture of total European dysfunction" Nick Fraser, BBC
