Overview

Bahia Benmahmoud, a free-spirited young woman, has a particular way of seeing political engagement, as she doesn't hesitate to sleep with those who don't agree with her to convert them to her cause - which is a lot of people, as all right-leaning people are concerned. Generally, it works pretty well. Until the day she meets Arthur Martin, a discreet forty-something who doesn't like taking risks. She imagines that with a name like that, he's got to be slightly fascist. But names are deceitful and appearances deceiving.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A witty romantic comedy that weaponizes seduction for political conversion until two mismatched people discover they're more complex than their assumptions about each other. It's charming absurdism wrapped around a genuine love story.
