The Winner

2023 · 1 season

A wry, low-key comedy of wounded pride, watching a once-powerful man flounder in ordinary life with dry, rueful charm.

Tagline: He led the nation. But can he handle his family?
Overview: Viktor Hudák, Prime Minister of a small European country, is ending his career in politics and returning to everyday life. However, when his successor radically overturns all the policies that he spent a lifetime building he quickly realises there is very little power in being an ex-Prime Minister.
How it feels: Satirical, cynical, melancholic and warm. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Power, family, identity, politics
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
