In a small Romanian village, a senator goes through hilarious events as he takes advantage of the people's hospitality while also ignoring their major issues.

The Senator feels fine. He has just inaugurated a windmill and now he feels like having snails for dinner. All the villagers are summoned to get some for him. Unfortunately for the great man, a terrible drama erupts and although Mr. Senator has nothing to do with it, it spoils an evening that looked pretty good. Besides, the snails prove disappointing. All in all, the Senator has had a foul day.—Guy Bellinger

In a small Romanian village, a senator goes through hilarious events as he takes advantage of the people's hospitality while also ignoring their major issues. The village goes through a problematic transition from the communist era to the capitalist society. The people's lands have to be returned to their rightful owners and the village is torn apart by an ethnic conflict between the Romanians and the Gypsies. The local authorities seem overpowered even when rape and murder take place in the community. A prominent senator that visits this chaotic scene to inaugurate a prickly windmill is seen as a long-awaited savior. However, he closes his eyes to this debacle and retreats to a majestic villa, previously owned by Ceausescu, to dive into a remarkable feast of fine foods and wine. He then orders the entire village to gather snails on the nearby hills so that he can impress a wandering crew of French journalists over diner. His actions, however, prove to be disastrous for the entire community.—Julio Gonzo
