En place

En place, or how a youth worker in a working-class neighborhood becomes a presidential candidate. The film presents the underbelly of a presidential election with all the perfidies that accompany it (self-interest, betrayal), but also the life of the suburbs with multiple communities, on a format of three hours that allows the various developments.

Special mention to the cast, Jean-Pascal Zadi (as a naive man who always works in two stages), Benoît Poelvoorde (as a calculating politician completely interested), Éric Judor (as a perfidious advisor) in the lead, all perfect.

It is a comedy, but many underlying elements are not brilliant, whether in the presidential campaign or in the suburbs, with betrayals, influences, and not very nice elements everywhere, which make this series a dramatic comedy more than a comedy.
