In an autocratic state, a message of praise to the President concludes a Party assembly, sparking apotheotic applause. An ovation that goes on for five, six, seven minutes... In the middle of the crowd inquisitive eyes of the State Police look for the slightest sign of dissent, and the applause does not cease. Arms get tired, palms metronomely clapping begin to hurt, sweat runs down heaving cheeks. Under the prospect of imprisonment, a man becomes aware of the ridicule and concludes the ovation. Based on real events. Never be the one to stop applauding.
