It's the 2012 election for the governorship of Osaka. This documentary shows us some of the usual routine: well-known professional politicians backed by the influential and established parties, leading their campaigns. But among them we see candidates like eccentric “Mac” Akasaka, who has no chance of winning. Is it possible that we can still learn something about politics from him?

Maidgethma Wonderfully offbeat film!
Whitech It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
