Agathe Villanova (Agnès Jaoui) is a professional woman whose feminist convictions have persuaded her to enter politics. She returns to her childhood home in the South of France to help her sister sort out some family affairs.
Agathe doesn't like the region and escaped it as soon as she could, but she's been sent back there to fight the forthcoming election. Karim (Jamel Debbouze), the son of the family's Algerian housekeeper, has aspirations to make a film, and together with his friend Michel (Jean-Pierre Bacri), he persuades Agathe to be the subject of a series of programmes on 'successful women'.
It's an unseasonably wet, grey August, but the weather isn't the only thing to cause irritation… (London Film Festival)
