The lead roles are played by Fabrice Luchini and Anaïs Demoustier. The former plays the mayor of Lyon, who is not in great shape, as he seems to be utterly clueless and feels totally drained after spending 30 years of his life in politics. To solve this problem, the authorities decide to hire a young and brilliant philosopher to come to his aid. They strike up a conversation, which brings them closer together and turns their certainties on their heads. Little by little, a question arises: are reflection and political practice compatible with one another? Produced by Bizibi, and co-produced by Arte France Cinéma and Belgium’s Scope Pictures, the feature will be distributed in French theatres by Bac itself on 2 October.
