What Is The Candidate About?
The premise of The Candidate without spoilers.
The film unfolds during a two-month presidential campaign in a specific country. A man begins recording his observations and excitement about the process, following a bishop, an eccentric advertising executive, and a seemingly unremarkable candidate named Peter Potôň. His initial enthusiasm gradually transforms into disgust and bewilderment as he documents conversations, character details, emails, medical records, and photographs. What begins as a diary entry becomes a collection of unsettling evidence, revealing a darkly comedic and potentially troubling political reality.
