This film tells the unique story of the 2002 presidential elections, its candidates, and their teams. True to his desire to “film politics differently,” Serge Moati goes behind the scenes and deciphers the issues, gambles, and strategies of the main players for the viewer. Many dream of coming third, others want to become key figures in their camp so they can look to the future with confidence, two believe they will make it to the second round, while the French people's questions punctuate it all, between passion and indifference.
