In the town of Ovacık, where the overwhelming majority are leftists, left-wing candidates and parties are unable to reach an agreement and end up running multiple candidates in the election, resulting in a right-wing candidate winning the mayoral election and attempting to govern the district for five years. Hıdır Diri, who wants to win the new election, mobilizes all his power to win the election through various schemes, including having his ultra-leftist nephew Şilan imprisoned so that he cannot run as a rival. A few days before the election, Şilan is released from prison and hitchhikes with a director, through whose eyes we see the workings of municipalities in Turkey, power relations, rent disputes, and how a people's vote is swayed in a colorful town like Ovacık, all told with a humorous tone.
