Synopsis:

At last, the Communist era is over. The people of Moscow can vote for their leaders! But who are the candidates? How are they qualified? And where do they come from?

This film explores the issues around a vote to represent Moscow's central area. Many of the likely organizations are there, though they can't all be properly called "political parties." There's the Mafioso. The journalist, the eccentric and of course the Communist. A look at the politics of a "free election" within a society that has been aching for exactly that, but doesn't quite know what to do with it when it has it.
