Plot synopsis
The future president of the country must have no secrets from his voters. And intimate secrets can become a weapon in the hands of political opponents. That is why the candidate for the highest office is obliged to introduce to the public his first wife, whom he once passionately loved before cheating on her. But this new meeting between the former spouses, although they do their utmost to limit it to its official character, reawakens old feelings and draws the heroes into a new whirlwind of passions.
