Election year. It’s just before the local elections and the mayor is sitting quietly, knowing he will be re-elected. A few days before the vote, however, there is a tragedy in the locality, an accident that causes damage and kills people. The press is buzzing. There is a fierce debate among the mayor’s councillors: someone must take responsibility. The mayor is not directly involved in the tragedy, but he has turned a blind eye to certain things and now the victims are demanding accountability.

This debate involves the survivors of the disaster, the mayor’s challenger, and the media from the sidelines. Each fiercely makes his point. Each has his own point – but whose hangs heavier?

A show that gives us the chance to ask what the public good really means: who is it really aimed at and who is responsible for it? What consequences should there be when this good is violated – and why are they never seen?
