Alice i gradonačelnik - Movies | Art-kino Croatia

Paul, an ageing but sharp-witted mayor of Lyon, after many years in politics finds himself in an existential crisis. Once an ambitious politician, he has run out of ideas and the only thing keeping him afloat is the inertia of the political system in which people are too numb to notice. When Alice, a young philosopher from Oxford, arrives to interview for a job that no longer exists, Paul, seeing her as his last chance, offers her a position – her task is to provide the mayor with fresh ideas about the future. The unlikely pair set out on a political revolution. This quirky comedy won the Europa Cinemas Label Award, the most prestigious award of the Directors’ Fortnight in Cannes.
