In a small and picturesque European country known as Grand Fenwick, the situation is critical: its economy is in ruins and the population is on the brink of despair. Faced with imminent bankruptcy, the duchy decides to take a risky and absurd strategy to recover its fortune: declare war on the United States, the most powerful country in the world. The idea is rather outrageous, but with the hope that by losing, they will receive generous financial aid in exchange for a quick surrender.
With an army of just 20 men, all disheveled but full of spirit, they embark on the adventure of conquering the American giant. Upon arriving in America, things do not go as planned, especially when they encounter an unexpected assault from pop culture and the contradictory ideals of the United States. However, what seemed to be a whimsical war turns into a series of comedic entanglements, misunderstandings, and unexpected revelations about sovereignty and national pride.
As the small duchy faces the power and bureaucracy of a vast country, absurd situations and endearing characters emerge, showing that even in war and politics, humor can often be the best weapon. The story culminates in an unexpected twist that puts both countries in check and prompts everyone to reconsider what victory really means. With a mosaic of satire and social criticism, this film serves as a reminder that sometimes, true triumph lies in friendship and understanding.
