Emmanuelle Joly, the new mayor of the underprivileged town of Montfermeil in the suburbs of Paris, starts working with her extravagant team to implement the wonders she promised during her campaign. But Joëlle and Kamel, two of the team members, are in the process of divorcing.

After playing in films by the likes of Assayas or Rivette, Jeanne Balibar makes her solo debut with an enchanting modern-day fairy tale. This whimsical comedy—based on the real ideas of French mayors!—features a crème de la crème cast, and wackily defies the usual representations of Paris’ banlieue.
