Men as women and women as men. This is the burlesque challenge of this sometimes bitterly funny film. Jacky is Cinderella, and in the kingdom of the girls, it is better to keep your nose clean. A dystopia of graphic beauty and formidable effectiveness.
Vice versa. Imagine a world where men wait at home for their wives to return while preparing their supper. A world in which Vincent Lacoste is Cinderella. In this imaginary military dictatorship, a big ball is organised to find the future "Grand Couillon" of the Colonelle. All the single men in the land want to attend... With a burst of laughter that is sometimes caustic, and with a tone that is uniquely his own, Riad Sattouf points out the extent of gender inequality.
