A quiet tractor driver from a small town meets a high-profile politician whose car broke down nearby and welcomes him into his house until the vehicle gets fixed. Under investigation for corruption, the politician is running for a seat in the European Parliament that will grant him immunity. He seizes the opportunity and decides to stay with this modest family during the campaign, winning people’s hearts by posing as an ordinary man next to his “old friend,” the shy, hard-working farmer who in exchange will get a new tractor. Director Marian Crișan spends time building on the human bond between the two men, providing a sympathetic layer to an otherwise hopeless story about how corruption can taint even the purest of heart. US Premiere!
