In order to distance himself from the reputation of his father, he decides to form a new party that speaks for the common man, and then hires a team of PR hotshots to craft his new image. Soon after their arrival, however, the creatives assigned to form his media presence begin to elicit Martín’s suspicion, and paranoia slowly takes hold. Directed by Uruguayan actor/director Daniel Hendler, The Candidate is a thrilling, political comedy that explores the creation of a political persona that is all form and no content.
