1. Titanic Vals
In a small provincial town, a mild-mannered civil servant is pushed by his domineering family and manipulative party bosses into an election campaign he never wanted, becoming a convenient symbol of honesty for everyone to exploit. As domestic squabbles collide with backroom deals, gossip, and comic misunderstandings, he is swept from reluctant anonymity to an unlikely political victory. The result is a sharp, warm satire of social climbing and the absurdities of public life, exposing the vanity, opportunism, and hollowness behind the façade of democratic ideals.
