Film Synopsis

Throughout his adult life, Marco Calderon has had a keen interest in politics, but as the 2012 French presidential election gets under way he finds it impossible to cast his vote.  Encumbered with debts, this disillusioned 40-year-old is typical of a generation that has become disengaged with politics.  How different he is from Leïla, the young student he has just rented a room to in his apartment.  She is in seventh heaven at the prospect of a new socialist presidency under a revitalised François Hollande.  Meanwhile, their neighbour downstairs, a lonely widower, finds himself drawn to the National Front, the only political party he can relate to these days.  He has stopped talking to his daughter after she began living with a black illegal immigrant.  The poor man cannot understand what the world is coming to...
