Fell for the Vote

"Fell for the Vote" tells an election story set in the town of Ovacik. Hidir Diri, the mayor from the right-wing party, tries every way to win the election again. During this process, he goes as far as imprisoning his radical left-wing nephew, Şilan, to prevent him from being a competitor. However, Şilan, who gets out of prison a few days before the election, changes the balances in the town. The operation of municipalities, power relations, property disputes, and the process of a community voting are humorously narrated through the eyes of a director in the film.
