A satirical comedy based on real events tells the story of municipal elections in Ofakim. The old mayor organizes a fake campaign and selects a cleaning woman as a dummy candidate. But his chosen one surprises everyone with her talent and determination.
Comedy satire based on a true story
The local elections in Ofakim, and veteran mayor Sasha is worried that no candidate dares to run against him. Without a rival, there's no campaign, and without a campaign, the donors' wallets stay closed. Besides, people might think he's a dictator, and he—democracy is his guiding light. To create the appearance of a fair election system, he's looking for a "fictitious" candidate—someone only his family would vote for. When cleaner Ilana walks into the mayor's office, it's clear to everyone that the perfect candidate has been found. And she's here to stay!
