A Lost Letter

Set in 1883 in a small provincial Romanian town, the story follows a corrupt establishment that decides everything, including who will be the "elected" representative to the national Senate. A love letter from the bachelor mayor to the wife of the local party chief gets lost and is found by a drunk party supporter. The letter reaches the opposition party, which decides to use it to blackmail the powerful local "camarilla" and to get its own man to represent the county. What follows is not easy to guess.
