"The beautician and the beast" (USA,
1997). This is the story of the dictatorial president (Timothy Dalton)
of a tiny fictitious Eastern European country ("Slovetzia", between
Slovakia and Ukraine) having invited an American beautician (Fran
Drescher) as teacher for his children. Of course the beautician turns
his castle, country and life upside down, both fall in love, democracy
is installed there etc.... Very frequently the flag of Slovetzia is shown, mainly as a car flag, though.

The national flag is a red over (medium) blue bicolour with a black boar's head
with white tusks. The car flag is square, the flag seen in another
setting is approx. 2:3. Sometimes also military colours are shown, that
seem to have the same overall layout; however, as they are not unfolded,
I am not sure. The flag is a banner-of-arms. The arms is shown pretty
frequently as well, for instance painted on the door of the official
automobile.
