"With this documentary, Brazilian filmmaker Alice Riff ("My Body is Political") provides, from a particular perspective, a broad overview of the concerns for contemporary Brazilian society and its future generations. In a similar way to what "Boys State" would do years later for the American case, "Elections" portrays a student microcosm in which the contemporary Brazil is reflected, with its ideological differences, vices but above all hopes, typical of a generation that is forming their political thoughts and thinking about the future of their country."
