Saint-Nicolas is Socialist

Roger Boeckx and Filippo Zito are local councillors in Saint-Nicolas, a former working-class town in Liège. Saint-Nicolas is one of the most densely populated municipalities in Wallonia. While the local Socialist Party has held an absolute majority for almost a century, Roger and Filippo belong to the opposition. They criticize the local government as excessive and opaque and see themselves as whistle-blowers. As the two men run for their council seats one last time, they dream of turning local politics around once and for all.
