'Met man en macht' is a serie of Woestijnvis, on the channel VIER, written by Tom Lenaerts and Tom Van Dijck. On January 18, 2013, it's broadcasted for the first time. It's the first show on VIER that isn't interrupted by advertising.
In the fictional Flemish commune Ransegem, Gaston Van Opstal is the mayor for 17 years. He controls his commune like a perfect citizen father. But then, fate strikes. There's a wake-up call in Ransgemen, six months before the elections. The citizens are being dragged into a political life. They have to make choices between their career or family, between their private interests or commune interests. Because what happens if ambitions become larger than their senses?
