Moi, candidat poster

François Hollande, François Bayrou, Christiane Taubira, Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, Arlette Laguiller, Jean-Marie Le Pen... reveal the driving forces behind their strategies, recount their joys and doubts, and talk about the exhilaration of popular jubilation and the harshness of an exhausting marathon—the adrenaline, the staging, the blows that are dealt and received, the hopes of victory and, in the end, more often than not, defeat. Through the testimonies of eighteen former candidates, "big" and "small," who participated in the Elysée competition between 1969 and 2012, this documentary directed by Jean-Baptiste Péretié reveals the human and political comedy of the presidential elections, the great theater of the conquest of power.

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.
