Landing a job as private secretary to Napoléon Bonaparte (Daniel Auteuil) when he's exiled to Elba, 19-year-old Martino Papucci (Elio Germano) -- who's stewing in malice toward the former emperor -- can't wait to live out his fantasy of killing his new boss. But to Martino's surprise, Napoléon charms him, and he has second thoughts about his plan in this comic biopic from director Paolo Virzi.
