As the new mayor of Montfermeil -- an underprivileged municipality on the outskirts of Paris-Emmanuelle Joly has great expectations. However, two of her staffers, Joëlle and Kamel have just culminated their long separation with a finalized divorce. As the mayor starts implementing her quirky campaign promises-naps for all, rooftop farms, sexual assistance in the home, harmonization of breathing-political rivals start sabotaging her enthusiastic plans, while Joëlle and Kamel's bickering further disrupt the administration and threaten this year's Brioche Day.
