D'un château l'autre
Emmanuel Marre
Spring 2017, during the French presidential election. Pierre, who is 25 and on a scholarship for a prestigious Parisian School, is housed by Francine, who is 75, disabled and confined to her wheelchair. Both are puzzled and disoriented as they witness the electoral circus that's playing out. Their political opinions and social backgrounds are opposite, but they still confide in each other. While waiting for the verdict from the ballot box, Pierre tries to look after Francine's body while Francine tries to heal Pierre's resentment.
