Synopsis

Viorel, a quiet, upright tractor driver from a small town in west Romania meets Mocanu, a high profile politician campaigning for a seat in the European Parliament. Mocanu's car has broken down nearby and Viorel and his wife welcome the politician into their humble home. Under investigation for corruption, Mocanu sees an opportunity and decides to stay with this modest family during the rest of the campaign, winning people's hearts by posing as a common man next to his "old friend", the honest, hard-working farmer. In return, Viorel will get a new tractor.

Critics' reviews

"Crişan’s love for Salonta, which is actually his birth town, can be felt in every scene (...) The Campaign suffers from a rather unbelievable evolution of the film’s second protagonist, Viorel."
