Louis 19, le roi des ondes is a hilarious movie about a radio DJ who becomes the king of a small country in Africa. The film was released in 1994 and stars Martin Drainville, Zhenhu Han, and Chantal Fontaine. The movie opens with Louis 19, the self-proclaimed king of the airwaves, entertaining his loyal listeners with his witty commentary and outrageous stunts. But when his radio station is bought out by a larger corporation, Louis finds himself out of a job and desperate for a new gig.

His luck takes a turn for the better when he receives an unexpected invitation to visit the country of Guinea-Bissau in West Africa. The invitation comes from the country's ruler, who is a big fan of Louis's radio show and wants to offer him a job as the official voice of the nation.

Louis jumps at the chance and sets off for Guinea-Bissau, where he is greeted with a lavish welcome and a staff of assistants to help him settle into his new role. But he soon realizes that being a royal broadcaster isn't as easy as he thought, and he struggles to navigate the political upheavals and cultural differences of his new home.

Despite the challenges, Louis throws himself into his new job with gusto, using his trademark humor and irreverence to connect with the people of Guinea-Bissau and win their hearts. Along the way, he makes friends with fellow expats and learns about the beauty and richness of African culture.

The movie is full of laughs and surprises, with Martin Drainville giving an unforgettable performance as the zany Louis 19. Zhenhu Han and Chantal Fontaine are also excellent as Louis's fellow expats, adding depth and soul to the film's comic hijinks.
