Drama

Clémence, the fearless mayor of a town near Paris, is completing the final term of her political career. With her faithful right-hand man Yazid, she has long fought for this town plagued by inequality, unemployment and slumlords. However, when Clémence is approached to become Minister, her ambition arises, questioning her devotion and commitment to her citizens. Will her political integrity and election promises survive her newly found ambition?

VIBE

This film feels like a slow, deliberate unravelling of a political career. It's a tense, introspective drama about the compromises leaders make and the weight of their promises. The mood is somber, reflecting the difficult choices and the wearying nature of public service.
