Grand Expectations
“One day, she will be president.”
DramaThriller
Summer 2019. Just graduated from Sciences Po, Madeleine leaves to prepare the orals of the ENA in Corsica with Antoine, her lover with whom she shares very left-wing political convictions. On a small deserted road, an unexpected encounter will seal their fate.
VIBE
A simmering tension underlies this tale of young ambition and ideological fervor. The idyllic setting belies a growing unease, as choices made under pressure lead to an inescapable, tragic destiny. It feels like a slow descent into darkness.
