This is not any American film. Alice Nellis comes from a country with a very difficult history. There were communists for a long period of time and the people still remember the years of political pressure. This film is about election and it might be quite difficult to understand for American people who have been free since 18th century. Until 1989 we couldn't choose the political party we wanted. We couldn't establish neither political party nor any group of people with the same opinions. If you were disagreeing with Russian policy, they sentenced you to death. Of course, there were elections. But other parties than communists were forbidden. There were elections with no choice. That's why Nellis's film has such a special feel. It shows how much we want to be free.
