Quite a topical story about a television talk show host whose moral and professional qualities undergo an unexpected test.Peter Probošt is the host of a popular talk show, in which he regularly asks very direct questions of top personalities, people in the public eye. He always prepares carefully for each session and his questions know no taboo. The public has the right to know about any kind of moral slip or failure, however unimportant or long forgotten, on the part of their political representatives or outstanding citizens. But how does he himself behave when invited to sit in the hot chair? When he must pass the same kind of character test in front of his audiences? Moreover, when he is faced by a woman he is entranced and obsessed with, a woman who believes in the same moral principles and also has that absolute respect for the unvarnished truth?
