Qui n’a pas sa part d’ombre / Who doesn’t have a dark side
The budget minister finds himself cornered by journalists. That’s it, they’ve found evidence of his secret Swiss bank account. Scandal! Resignation! How could things have come to such a pass? To come up with an exit strategy, the minister dives back into his past.
Made using video clips taken from image banks, the film gives a humorous and exact account of the life of a politician who grabs every opportunity he can to succeed and clamber his way to the top.
