- Synopsis
- Joëlle and Kamel Mrabti are key members of staff for Montfermeil's new mayor, Emmanuelle Joly - but the couple is also in the process of divorcing. The whole staff is working together on the implementation of a wacky new policy that features the creation of the Montfermeil Intensive School of Languages, where seven of the 62 languages spoken in this town on the outskirts of Paris will be taught. Other measures include how to slow down the pace of city life, the art of the siesta, the development of population movement, sexual satisfaction support, restructuring the local trade in marijuana/vegetable baskets, teaching Mathematics in Arabic in kindergarten, and fruit-tree grafting in Bondy forest. The policy is a great success and effectively revitalises the town, but life is no less complicated for the mayor's staff.
