What happens

Servant of the People 2 (Ukrainian: «Слуга народу 2», romanized: Sluha narodu 2, Russian: «Слуга народа 2», romanized: Sluga naroda 2) is a 2016 Ukrainian political comedy film based on Volodymyr Zelenskyy's television series Servant of the People, produced and distributed by Kvartal 95 Studio, which also produced the series. The film was directed by Aleksey Kiryushchenko and stars Zelenskyy, who also served as a producer of the film, alongside Anastasia Chepelyuk and returning cast members Yevhen Koshovyi and Stanislav Boklan. Released between the first and second seasons of Servant of the People, the film follows the efforts of President Vasily Goloborodko (Zelenskyy) to overcome a group of adversarial oligarchs and pass political reforms in order to make Ukraine eligible for IMF financial aid. Zelenskyy's role in both the TV series and the film is credited with helping him win the vote in the 2019 Ukrainian presidential election. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
