ÉLYSÉE – MATIGNON: FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE

A human comedy, a saga at the apex of power. This film traces the relationship between the President and his Prime Ministers under the Fifth Republic, focusing on two presidential terms — from 2017 to 2027 — as a mirror of how the exercise of power has evolved.
Through the intimate testimonies of Emmanuel Macron’s Prime Ministers and the reflections of their predecessors, we step behind the scenes of History itself: an epic in which the great challenges of the Republic intertwine with the struggles and doubts of those who shouldered them.
