Jour de gloire (2022)

It is 7 p.m. on April 24, 2022. In an hour, the French will discover the face of their next President of the Republic. At the bus stop in a small town in the south of France, Julien, in his thirties, is waiting for Félix, his younger brother, whom he has not seen for several years. The latter, a business engineer, arrives from Melbourne to settle the administrative formalities related to the death of their mother. On this particular day, Félix absolutely insists on slipping his ballot into the ballot box, unlike Julien, disillusioned by the political class: everything now opposes the two brothers, and the mood of the reunion will be suspended on the results of the vote. While France chooses a President, they will face their memories; Félix, steeped in remorse at having missed his mother's funeral, has not seen his older brother for five years, five years during which Julien remained at the bedside of their sick mother, putting his own life on hold. During this critical hour when every Frenchman holds his breath, the two brothers will live a poetic, sensitive and heartbreaking adventure, which will be played out in the streets that saw them grow up, at the town hall, in the village bar and in their house. childhood. What they don't know yet is that at 8:00 p.m., when the name of the next President is revealed, their brotherhood will be turned upside down. It's amazing how five years of absence can separate men, hearts and votes. The sequence plan can begin. It will last 1h05, and it is live.
