[ Story ]
Unique documentary that is filled with wonder as it follows the "fringe candidates" who keep running for election and losing, and aren't even treated fairly by the media. Reveals their goals in running for election and motivation behind not giving up their candidacy, despite being ignored and reviled.
Four candidates who are like fish out of water, running for the first double mayoral-gubernatorial election in Osaka in forty years. Surprising aspects of democracy emerge through candidates who keep running for office despite knowing victory is an impossibility, including Mac Akasaka, directorgeneral of the Smile Party, and Hashiba Hideyoshi, who has lost fifteen elections.
