Alice Nellis's small-scale debut tragicomedy spotlights small-town elections. The protagonist, a university student name Jana who is trying to solve a troubled relationship with a married man, takes her mother's place on the election commission. In the meantime the mother is going through her own small domestic crisis with her husband. Thanks to excellent acting performances and restrained direction, the film convincingly outlines interpersonal relations and their light social overtones. (official distributor synopsis)

The greatest asset of the film are the performances. It doesn't make sense to name names. They are all great. And the biggest problem is often the dialogues, which are not sharp enough to keep me interested in the film, stopping scene by scene and relishing a great cinematic experience. Ene bene is definitely a good piece with a good idea, but the Owners, who are much younger, are of a similar caliber and can strike the viewer significantly more.
