'Prezident Blank' is a Czech satirical film directed by Marek Najbrt. It stars Marek Daniel as a fictional Czech lobbyist Antonn "Tonda" Blank. Blank is the main protagonist of the satirical web series 'Kancel Blank'. The film is about Blank's candidacy in the 2018 presidential election.

Background



The character of Tonda Blank was introduced by web television Stream as a protagonist of the satirical series 'Kancel Blank'. The series parodies Czech politics. On 12 October 2017, a video was released in which Blank announced his candidacy for Czech president. The creators held meetings with people with Marek Daniel in character as Blank. On 9 November 2017, Blank attended the first presidential debate. On the same day the creators announced that Blank's candidacy was part of the preparation for a new film called 'Prezident Blank'. The plot of the film would react to the actual election. Filming concluded on 20 December 2017. Multiple endings were filmed with the final ending to depend on the result of the real election.

Plot



Tonda Blank discovers that, according to one interpretation of the constitution, he would be able to sell the Czech Republic if he was President. He decides to sell the country to China and announces his candidacy for the 2018 presidential election and starts gathering signatures. He promises voters corruption available to everybody and Lithium for every family. He gathers 100,000 signatures but his assistant ala fails to bring the signatures to the Ministry of Interior, and Blank is therefore not registered. He decides to support one of other candidates but doesn't know who will win. He decides to convince all the other candidates of his plan, with the exception of Milo Zeman. Blank subsequently has a change of heart and decides to support Zeman, because he is the only candidate who won't sell the Czech Republic to China. Blank supports Zeman but finds out that Zeman sold the Czech republic to Russia and decides to steal the national jewels and flee the country. He changes his mind at the border.
