A young graduate in the office of the Minister of Foreign Affairs finds a world filled with ambition and dirty dealings.
In the aftermath of the French Presidential Election, it seems fitting that this razor-sharp comedy should return to the big screen. Young graduate Arthur Vlamrick (Raphaël Personnaz) is hired as a speechwriter for the tough-talking Minister of Foreign Affairs (Thierry Lhermitte) and rather than idealism what he finds is a world filled with ambition and dirty dealings. Think The West Wing crossed with The Thick of It.
"Broad performances, rapid-fire pacing, and rampant visual and verbal gags … it’s political burlesque through and through."
