Agathe Villanova is a self-centered, workaholic feminist politician who, upon reluctantly returning to her home in the south of France to sort out her mother's affairs, runs for a local election. Upon her arrival, Agathe grudgingly agrees to take part in a documentary being made by the blundering duo of Karim, an aspiring filmmaker, and self-professed "reporter" Michel, on the subject of "successful women." As Agathe's life hilariously unravels, the camera is there to capture it all.

VIBE

A sharp, witty comedy that follows a high-powered politician's hilariously chaotic return to her roots. Expect charming French scenery, sharp dialogue, and a delightful unraveling of a woman's carefully constructed life.
