The film reached cinemas two months before the 2017 French presidential election that pitted Le Pen against Macron, with the far-right National Front appearing under another name. The man who recruits new members is warm, sensible and impossible to say no to.

Synopsis

Pauline is a home nurse in a small town in northern France who spends her days going from house to house, and everyone trusts her. Her father was a union man all his life, but she has never taken any interest in politics. Then a doctor she knows asks her to run for mayor on his party’s list, just as her ex-boyfriend comes back to town with friends Pauline has never heard of.
