Getting the diploma was the first step. The election campaign just started and the two big parties - Christian-democratic and Communist, forgetful of respective favors, settle down an electoral "war of the words", mean tricks (culminating with the famous horny Peppone/Lucifer) and easy propaganda.

One day, the village is visited by a traveling knife-grinder, Urbain Gedemus and a young woman, Arsule.
