L'Exercice de l'Etat (2011)
De idealistische minister van Transport Bertrand Saint-Jean wordt kort na zijn aantreden midden in de nacht door zijn privésecretaris uit bed gebeld. Ergens op het platteland is een bus in een ravijn gestort. Als eerste verantwoordelijke moet de minister meteen ter plaatse acte de présence geven. Ook daarna wordt er continu aan hem getrokken en wordt hij telkens op de proef gesteld. Zo zijn er problemen met vakbonden, ligt er een gevoelig voorstel om de spoorwegen te privatiseren op tafel en zijn er talloze opportunistische collega’s die dwarsliggen. En overal is altijd de media. De tol die Saint-Jean betaalt voor zijn ambities is dan ook hoog. Hectische, indringende film over het turbulente leven aan de politieke top en de prijs die daar voor wordt betaald
