10th IN THE PALACE ISFF, 2012

In late 2011, Bulgaria - country of truly unlimited political possibilities where a dictator's bodyguard can become a Prime Minister - voted for a figurehead president and local administration. Displaying an absolute faith in the fairness and integrity of the election, OSCE dispatched only 12 officials to observe 12,000 election sections. At the same time, SILBA, a small Danish NGO, sent 20 young Danes to gain experience in a calm and controlled election process. This is the story of the election night adventures of Marie Louise, a 25-year-old Dane, stuck between the Bulgarian way to run an election and the convenient conclusions reported by the heads of the European delegations.
