in the Lower Saxony state elections in 2013, Meinhart Ramaswamy was the top candidate of the Pirate Party, in a phase when his party had just achieved great success, but it was also increasingly dealing with internal scandals - for Ramaswamy a difficult starting position for his election campaign.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What can he do himself, what can the party do against the downtrend? The filmmaker Rolf Husmann, a close friend of the candidate since his studies, accompanied Ramaswamy for six months in the election campaign.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This resulted in a film that shows politicians and private people in this stressful half year.<\/p>\n
