What it's about

The week after the French elections, the President must appoint his prime minister. In exchange for a higher position, ambitious young parliamentary attaché Nino is charged with persuading his longestranged father, a reclusive senator, to accept the post. But Lionel Perrin isn’t the only candidate for the coveted position, and in the race for power absolutely nothing is off-limits… Nino embarks on a high stakes adventure risking everything, his love life and political ambitions alike.

Why 10

A political comedy that talks roughA son who works in parliament and his father, a perennial loser of politics, whom he must persuade to become prime minister: some thirty swear words, family insults, and a suicide mentioned in the father's past.
The restCigarettes, a comedy brawl, bodyguards' guns; nothing worrying.

What the movie brings

A father and son who find each other again by arguing about politics: passing things on, both ways.
How a prime minister gets appointed, explained with a laugh.
A loser who ends up winning by refusing to cheat.

Watching it together

Before

Warn about the language, and explain what a prime minister is; the rest is a father-and-son story.

After

at 10 and up

The father has always lost because he is honest: is that better than winning?
