L’AFFAIRE FIGATELLI

PITCH:
Santa and Abdelkader, two veterans on the loose find asylum in their native village: Pratu, 257 souls.
No one will find them there, that’s for sure.
Upon arrival, there remains a question: no one had barely aged. Not even wrinkles, some of them were
dashing young as in their twenties.
They therefore decide to investigate on what’s going on. Starting there, they get the idea to create a
company to market on a large scale that Figatelli. A kind of magic potion preserving an everlasting
youthfulness.
HISTOIRE
Santu is from a village named Pratu in Corsica. He is on the loose with his forever friend Abdelkader.
They decide to go back to their village, the last place anyone would come to get them. Indeed, villages
in Corsica are not so welcoming with the police forces. Barely any kind of law enforcement goes there
ever. It wasn’t long before they gather around their families and old friends. In this place, the bar was
the daily meeting spot.
This was a typical home coming: no one had changed nor wore wrinkles. The thing was that, here, the
saying was more than true… the villagers were in Olympic shape and none of them had aged in all
these years.
Santu and Abdelkader can’t believe it!
Soon enough, the origin of this amazing vitality must be addressed. The ambient air? Frank’s cheap
wine at the bar? What was the common denominator?
They decide to investigate with one idea sticking up to their mind: find the origin of this vitality and
market it. After several investigations they finally end up with an answer to their question at a village
feast organized for their homecoming. Everyone eats Figatelli. Here is the answer to their question.
Therefore, everything follows: the local company, the building of a reliable team, they have to find the
place for the decision process, several schedules, business plans, advertising, sponsoring…
But, what they needed more than anything was the man with the Figatelli making expertise and no one
else. François-Xavier Santoni aka Fix, better known under the alias The Butcher.
Therefore, begins the epic success of this company, bringing Santu and Abdelkader to the presidential
grace. This was organized by Trump himself who would have talked to the French president.
The product is divine, the easiest to sell around the world. It is hard to keep up. Making Figatellis the
lust of consumers.
Though, after overconsuming the product, an abnormality was happening. An unexpected side effect
that they are soon trying to sweep under rug to avoid the bashing and a total bankruptcy of our two
friends.
That might be where Corsica has some advantage to that.
MINI SERIE – 6 EPISODES DE 30’
PITCH – Episode 1: PROJECT FLY HOME
We are now following Santu and Abdel’s return to their home village. No one was waiting on them!
But what a cheerful welcome!
The journey of their way back. A lot less shaky, we will throw some flashbacks of their trip in Africa.
And we will learn more about how they escaped and how they ended up in military jail houses.
( The crossing of the African sahel.Getting to Lybia so they could cross the Mediterranean sea with
smugglers. Getting new papers to be able to go through the Schengen area smoothly. Get to Nice and
then get to Corsica with the ferry, car hiring, and the journey finally ends up in the village).
Santu and Abdelkeder enjoy so much the gather around. It feels good to be with their families and
their childhood friends. But still, it seemed weird to Santu that no one had changed. Not speaking
about how they behaved, but physically, as if the time had stopped and no one ever wrinkled.
The investigation starts, clear up why no villagers had aged after all those years.
PITCH – Episode 2: THE SEARCH OF THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH
Everyone was here to cheerfully welcome the home boys (Santu and Abdelkader) at Pascal’s place
around a drink.
Within here the pastis runs smoothly and so does the village Figatelli. When everything becomes
clear: everyone eats Figatelli!
It turns out that when they were away, huge thunderstorms happened and would have charged the rain
in electricity as well as some vegetables invisible to our eyes.
Our dear friends decide to get together in the backroom of the bar in small comity. It’s only after lots
of questions and a brainstorming that they finally made a decision.
They are going to launch the Figatelli (AOC) brand, the business plan is simple, and the promise was
perfect: “The Figatelli will give you everlasting youth”.

PITCH -Episode 3: THE RIGHT SPIN

That’s crazy, the company is operating full speed. Despite the willingness to make the product sound
scarce (the reason for the high price), orders never stop coming.
They don’t know if the offer will keep up with the high demand. Besides, the one who complains the
most, rightly, is Fix who struggles to follow.
All the great names of this world as well as the wealthiest fight to get the figateli. Form Tokyo to LA,
through Moscow and London… it becomes a luxury item. Prices are sky high confronted to the given
scarcity.
Even Saudi and people from Dubai travel to check the availability of a hallal version made from
sheep.
Everyone is a winner; the village is well, and we are not solely talking about the health quality.
PITCH – Episode 4: SUCCES BRINGS COPYCATS
Facing success, some copies and frauds are developed. Parallel markets happen to pop up everywhere
in France and elsewhere. Slowly, Figatelli AOC de Pratu start appearing.
Al lot of products are sold behind the table which is getting on our friends’ nerves. We shall not forget
that they are from Corsica, and that kind of problem will be settled the Corsican way.
They put together years of experience from the army to dismantle those networks.
PITCH – Episode 5: A NEW THREAT
The parallel networks are now out of the game, and the company keeps growing! Prosper! But for
Santu and Abdelkader the noose is tightening, the military police has been on their back for a while
now.
In order to make their sanctions acquainted and the stop the legal proceeding against them, Santu goes
through a well detailed list of his customers and gets to know the right people who could suspend the
burden of charges against them.
Trump contacts the French president so that he pardons our two dear friends. Done!
Hence, we are finely able to put a face on this raging success. The journalists who were not welcomed
kept coming to the village. People stormed through the village to see the Figatelli miracle company.
PITCH – Episode 6: The significant Anomaly
Et puis on fera le dernier paragraphe avec mon frère quand on se vera hein ! ahah !

For a while Cago tried to draw the adults attention on several points. But, as usual, no one listened.
Facing this success, they focus on one major problem: the pork supply; and more particularly the fact
those need enough time to be bred from the village land’s benefits.
Cago comes back during dinner and tries again to bring attention on several other complaints looking
not so important.
Some people complain about strange behaviours along the day. They grunt, they roll themselves in
dirt, etc.
But they cannot be ready to know that one of their biggest customer and consumer of figatelli had
some kind of transformation: his ear became a pork ear.
