A deposed dictator and a persecuted imam find church asylum in the idyllic mountain village of Kalbermatten. At the community meeting, the proud villagers want to show the poor refugees what democracy is. When a dispute over a vote escalated there, the women quickly abolished men's right to vote by majority vote and replaced the mayor with his wife. Out of defiance, the men join the refugees in the church, where the women have nothing to say. While the imam in the church tries to comfort the disempowered men, the deposed dictator helps the deposed mayor to overthrow his beloved wife.
