At the heart of the plan is a policy to pay all workers the same income: with bonuses for those who make a difference to the progress and well-being of society.

the
World
Meanwhile back on the island, Gaston becomes a hero and local celebrity after rescuing the beautiful Solange from suicide via drowning. He falls in love with Solange and is reunited with Patrick and they leverage Gaston’s celebrity to enter politics to win government on the back of their FAIR doctrine.
At the same time, our heroes devise an ingenious plan to stop evil priests in Gaston’s home village sexually abusing children that ends up stopping sexual abuse by Catholic clergy the world over.
At times farcical, always thought provoking and bristling with black humour and bawdy scenes, Gaston Saves the World posits a formula for a simpler, fairer world: in a setting where good triumphs over evil and true love conquers not all, but most.
But first they must overcome a dual threat to their political ambition posed by Solange’s unscrupulous fiancé; a narcissistic Australian developer who is flouting the island’s tallest coconut tree convention and bribing local officials to build a monstrous six-star beach resort; and a corrupt cop whose sadistic treatment of a heroin addict ultimately leads to his downfall.
At the heart of the plan is a policy to pay all workers the same income: with bonuses for those who make a difference to the progress and well-being of society.
Gaston shares the idea with his best friend Patrick who moves to Australia where, some years later, he is elected to a local council and fleshes out Gaston’s vision. Patrick calls is FAIR (Formula Advancing Income Revolution) but his attempt to put FAIR into practice ends in humiliation that sends him fleeing back to the Island.
