Despite having gained some recognition and having a huge ego, Soria lives distressed because his success never seems enough for him. His life changes when he meets Rania al-Jatib, a feminist Palestinian filmmaker who lives in Paris.\r\n\r\nThe relationship between Rania and Simon gives way to an increasingly air bridge between the cities where the protagonists reside, Paris and Madrid. Their lives change even more so when Sim\u00f3n gets a new job, thanks to Rania, as the ideologist of the Democratic Party. This is a conservative formation seeking a \u00a8glow up\u00a8 a few months before the general elections, and finds the professor to be the perfect candidate.\r\n\r\nThe story is told \u00a0in the form of a report and brings us closer to an electoral campaign full of scandals, betrayals between party mates, and even a sextape \u2026\r\n\r\nWith great humor and credibility, the story takes you through an electoral campaign with ambition, vanity and desire. This clever juxtaposition between fiction and non-fiction shows a trajectory that could very well be on the press today, with undeniable actuality. The candidate will survive, after all, the rise and the falls are at the heart of human comedies.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>RELEVANT DATA<\/strong>: <em>The Candidate<\/em> (<em>Candidato)<\/em> is very well received by critics, they define it as: one of the best novels of its generation.\u00a8 A sociopolitical satire that explores the \u00a8behind the scenes\u00a8 of an electoral campaign and the transformation of politicians into media stars, similar to reality show contestants, who are eager for success and prominence.\r\n\r\nSimilar to <em>El alba, la tarde o la noche,<\/em> by Yasmina Reza or \u00a0<em>Sumisi\u00f3n,<\/em> by Michel Houellebecq, <em>The Candidate<\/em> (<em>Candidato<\/em>) reflects on the construction of the young charismatic politicians that exists today (Macron in France, Truedau in Canada, Rivera in Spain), all apparently brilliant, serious, talented and respectable people. However, you find dubious ideology when you dive deeper than their extremely thought-out social image that\u2019s on the surface.\r\n\r\nAntonio J, Rodr\u00edguez is a well-known journalist, and is one of the most interesting writers in Spain today.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nWhat the critics have said:\r\n\r\n\u201cA bitter portrait of characters who have seen desires and aspirations cut short, frustrated and trapped, in a false perfect life.\u201d Ernesto Ayala-Dip,\u00a0<em>Babelia (El Pa\u00eds).<\/em>\r\n\r\n\u201cOne of the most talented voices in new Spanish narratives.\u201d Anna Mar\u00eda Iglesia,\u00a0<em>El Confidencial.<\/em>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>AUDIOVISUAL POTENTIAL<\/strong>: In development for a Film.\r\n\r\n<strong>LANGUAGES AVAILABLE:<\/strong>
