Synopsis:

Jacky (Vincent Lacoste) is a young man in love with the Colonelle (Charlotte Gainsbourg) and is desperate to attend the grand ball, where she will choose a husband. Also starring Michel Hazanavicius (director of The Artist) and Noémie Lvovsky (from Farewell, My Queen, MIFF 2012; and The French Kissers), and filmed amongst the Soviet-era architecture of Georgia, Jacky in the Kingdom of Women is a twisted take on the Cinderella story that skewers sexism and fundamentalism to hilarious effect.

In the follow-up to his directorial debut The French Kissers, French-Syrian comic book artist and director Riad Sattouf proffers up a gender-bending farce in which women rule and men drool. In the fictitious matriarchy of the People's Republic of Bubunne, women are warlords and sexual aggressors while the men are meek and complacent homemakers.

In the Kingdom of Bubunne, women are in power while men wear veils and do domestic tasks. Jacky, a lovely young man who dreams of marrying the 'Colonelle' has to struggle like a Cinderella to realize his dreams.
