What happens when an openly gay man decides to run for mayor in a very conservative town in northeastern Italy, and uses his homosexuality as a secret weapon? What would happen if during the electoral campaign, our hero falls in love with his right-hand man who happens to be a… woman? What will the voters say, the political opponents, his official companion? And what… in the end will his heart say?
