JACKY IN THE KINGDOM OF WOMEN

by Riad Sattouf

synopsis

In the Democratic and Popular Republic of Bubunne, women have the power, they rule and fight wars, while men wear headscarves and look after the home. Among them, Jacky a twenty-year-old male, has the same impossible fantasy as all the rest of the single men in his country: to marry the Colonel, the dictator's daughter, and have lots of baby girls with her. But when the General at last decides to organize a great ball to find a husband for her daughter, things get worse for Jacky: mistreated by his family-in-law, he watches his dream slowly slip out of reach.
