An intense encounter in the waning months of Francois Mitterrand’s tenure in office between the President of France and Antoine, the young Jewish journalist charged with writing his biography. While the ailing Mitterrand seeks to secure his legacy as the “last great President,” Antoine interrogates the charismatic leader with unresolved questions about his actions during the Vichy Period of World War II. The film is based on the book by Georges-Marc Benamou that scandalized French politics.
