In the short film Second Chance, Peter Kerekes humorously attempts to invite Finland to invade Slovakia and establish a functioning democracy. The last invasion—by the Soviet Union in 1968—did not go so well, so he wants to give a new country the opportunity. He tries to arrange a meeting with Finland’s president in this witty political satire that reflects on national identity, self-governance, and the dream of a better society.
