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 biggest strength of this film is the acting. No need to single anyone out—they’re all fantastic. However, the biggest drawback is the dialogue, which often lacks the punch to keep me fully engaged, scene by scene, for that truly great cinematic experience. It's a solid film with a good premise, but The Owners, which is somewhat similar in style, manages to pack a much stronger punch.
