The European Union's Lisbon Treaty, ratified in 2009, is this film's target: a document its critics argue was written to lock in centralized power without ever putting the question to voters directly. The film assembles Members of the European Parliament, legal experts, and independent EU researchers who walk through the treaty's mechanics, arguing that it shifts authority away from national governments and citizens toward Brussels institutions with little public oversight. Speakers point to the treaty's history, including the French and Dutch rejection of its predecessor constitution and its subsequent return under a new name, as evidence that voter objections were sidestepped rather than answered. The film's throughline is a warning about accountability: who actually makes decisions once a treaty like this is in force, and how would citizens know. It is built entirely from talking-head interviews and treaty analysis rather than reenactment or on-the-ground footage, presenting a Eurosceptic case against EU integration as its central argument throughout.
