He gathers two friends, and together they improvise a campaign - no means, no connections, no money, but with much rage, passion and a sense of justice.

Critics' reviews

"Surprisingly engrossing even for the uninitiated (...) [It is] a refreshing reminder that other countries' politics can be just as surreal and dysfunctional as our own."

Frank Scheck: The Hollywood Reporter
