“One Chirac can hide another”

ComedyDrama

When she arrived at the Elysée Palace, Bernadette Chirac expected to finally get the place she deserved, she who had always worked in the shadow of her husband to make him president. Put aside because she was considered too old-fashioned, Bernadette decided to take her revenge by becoming a major media figure.

VIBE

This film feels like a sophisticated, witty journey of self-reinvention. It's an empowering and charming exploration of ambition and identity, as an underestimated woman finds her voice and place in the public eye. The mood is determined and ultimately triumphant, wrapped in a character-driven French style.
