This time Jean-Pascal Zadi plays the role of Stephane Bléa suburban educator fed up with the broken promises of politicians. And more specifically those of Eric Andrei (Benoît Poelvoorde), the supposedly left-wing mayor who has done nothing for the disadvantaged neighborhoods. Instinctively, Stéphane then speaks in front of the cameras when the politician arrives. His intervention does not go unnoticed and a campaign manager (Éric Judor) convinces him to do so to run for office. An absurd idea for everyone, but not so much for Stéphane, who however will soon find himself overwhelmed.
With AlrightJean-Pascal Zadi jokes the political world and all fields. He entertains by pushing clichés away and sometimes makes Marina Foïs the caricature of a feminist ecologist, sometimes Pierre-Emmanuel Barré that of a far-right candidate without filters. If his comedy works so well it is also because he does not attribute to himself the role of the perfect man, on the contrary. Stéphane is a nice simpleton, often clumsy in his words, but with a good background and capable of learning from his mistakes.
