FFFA: The Son Of

Synopsis

Fils de

One week after a chaotic presidential election, France urgently needs a new Prime Minister. A hapless but ambitious young parliamentary assistant (Jean Chevalier) has a plan: convince his retired and highly erratic politician father (François Cluzet) to return from exile and seize the top job.

What follows is a breakneck political comedy that transforms into a razor-sharp portrait of power, ambition, and the flexibility of principle.

Filmed before France’s current political turmoil, the narrative hums with uncanny and prophetic resonance. Sharp, unsparing, and mischievously satisfying, THE SON OF is a winning satire.
