    Great comedy

    This Best Comedy Awarded film on the International Tiburon Film Festival is telling a remarkable tale of how two guys, Joes and his funny once ( played by the famous Dutch- Moroccan comedian Najib Amhali) are send away because they are held responsible for the disappearance of the goats of the village. They come into the Netherlands, where the monarchy finally collapsed and a republic is called for. Due to problems with the elections, they are in search for a modern hero and just around then Joes saves some people from a burning house in the camp where they work. Through some stunts Joes becomes popular and is to be elected as new president. But then new problems arise. So you see, this is pure fantasy and fiction, but for the Netherlands it is close to what could happen and so it is satire. The young Moroccan people in Holland loved the film.
