Programme Overview

The Candidate follows the life and lessons of Alix, a struggling single mom who’s offered an opportunity to run as a paper candidate for a third party in an electoral district where she has zero chance of winning, so that the party can promote candidates everywhere. The offer comes at a time when Alix is fast approaching the end of her twenties and going nowhere in her life. She quickly accepts without giving it too much thought, partly as a favour and partly because… why not?
