The small town of Revin, in the French Ardennes, is preparing to elect a mayor when an unknown character announces he’s running for office. This intruder is none other than an actor, cast by the film's director, Thomas Paulot, in a social experiment that they document. By doing so, Paulot blurs the line between fiction and reality and he generates a series of contradictions. In a nearly documentary style, inviting us to unravel the truth from the fiction, this political fable shows us the sincerity of the bond that is created between all its protagonists—and what flows out of it is a profound humanity.
