Paul Bougon, egged on by his family, has decided to get into politics. To raise money and awareness, but most money, he starts a new political party, PEN, which stands for the Parti Ecourement National (the National Sickness Party i English). PEN relies on the sale of membership cards as well as illegal donations. He tries to convince his fellow citizens that through him, change will come. Quebeckers, unbelievably, believe in Bougon’s promises he is elected Premier of Québec. Sounding a bit like the Trump election south of the border, Bougon decides his daughter, his son and his brother will have a role to play in his news government. Meanwhile, Rita Bougon, who doubts her husband’s love for her, has traveled south with her sister and falls in love with a handsome Cuban named Chico.
