"[5] In 2008, Piussi's semi-documentary Babička (Grandmother) received media attention because it told the story "of an aging woman" who does not "want to give up love life.

[8] In that same year, Susan Piussi also created a portrait of Pavel Branko entitled Hrdina našich čias (A Hero of Our Time).

"[9] In 2011, she made the documentary film Disease of the Third Power that explores the current state of affairs at the top level of the Slovak judiciary.

Claiming breach of confidentiality because her voice was heard and because her (blurred) face was seen in the documentary, Judge Helena Kožíková demanded compensation of 30 thousand euros.

"[11] The prosecution started a protracted investigation, charging "violation of confidentiality of verbal expression in an (allegedly) private conversation.

"[13] According to the Bratislava ''SME'' (newspaper), "about seventy artists, many of them in the past dissidents and political prisoners, responded to the fact that the filmmaker is facing imprisonment for a documentary about the Judiciary (...).

[15] Citing the SITA news agency, SME reported on November 16, 2012 that the Ministry of Justice had stopped the charge against Susan Piussi.

"[17] Piussi was facing the possibility of two years in jail plus compensation payment to judge Kožíková, the press reported.

When prosecution was still carrying on the investigation after two years and three months without tangible results, this was criticized in the press as a form of "bullying" the film director.

In December 2012, SME reported that members of Parliament were invited to see "The Disease of the Third Power" but few came, among them MEP Andrej Hrnčiar from Most who said that the current situation in the judiciary brings to mind the period of 'Meciarism'.

She quoted Filip Kršák, spokesman of DAFilms, as saying that "this film is a fundamental report about present Slovakia and unfortunately not an optimistic one.

[25] The two documentary films completed by her in 2012 (Disease of the Third Power and Fragile Identity) also reached rank 4 and 5 respectively in a survey of nearly 300 people who work professionally in the field of culture.

[26] Still in December 2012, Fragile Identity won the first prize in the 13th documentary film festival Jeden svet (One World), 2012.

Regarding the film "From Fico to Fico" that features the Gorilla protests while attempting to explore their organizational background, she says, "A scene from the film, in which people gathered on the central square trying to debate issues of national defense and economic growth, resembled surreal poetics of the Stoka theater.

Krekovič notes that filmmakers bear part of the guilt, too, having failed to prevent the privatization with its disastrous ending, and then continues: "Zuzana Piussi is looking for an answer to that question.

The frail woman wandering around on the grounds of the former studios, stumbling on red high heels and questioning those who could have something to say about the case.

Beautiful it would be - if the question would not hang in the air who stole away all the equipment of Koliba at the time when the government in office included himself.
