Based on the 2000s television sitcom Les Bougon, the film is a political satire in which Paul Bougon (Rémy Girard) enters politics, starting his own political party and catching a populist wave that results in his being elected as the new Premier of Quebec.[2] All of the actors from the television series reprised their original roles, with the exception that the role of adopted daughter Mao was recast.[3]

Although press coverage of the film noted some similarities to the presidential campaign of Donald Trump,[4] the film was more directly inspired by Quebec populist gadfly Bernard "Rambo" Gauthier [fr].[5]

The film was a shortlisted finalist for the Public Prize, an audience-voted fan award, at the 19th Quebec Cinema Awards.[6] It was the second most successful Quebec film of 2016 at the box office, behind The 3 L'il Pigs 2 (Les 3 p'tits cochons 2).[7]
