The President
A political comedy about Joes, an illegal Morrocan who makes it to President of the Netherlands. As we follow his unlikely rise and selfsought fall, Joes learns that it's easy to win the support of the people, but to rule them is an entirely different story. A satirical sketch on modern politics, morals and power.
Based on a book by Khalid Boudou.
