Short film
Duration 15 min

When we begin questioning the true power of the vote, slogans, emblems, songs and other rituals appear to support the Republic. What persists is the form. The ceremony involved at a polling place is explored in a comedy in which the actor Manuel Vallade plays all the parts. Constructed using a number of interviews, the film plays with the language and codes which layer our collective citizen imagination.
