Plot

In the dead of night, Transport Minister Bertrand Saint-Jean finds himself abruptly roused from slumber by his chief of staff. A bus has plummeted into a ravine, and he is compelled to confront the catastrophe head-on. Thus, he is thrust into a whirlwind odyssey, navigating through a labyrinthine world of politics that grows relentlessly intricate and antagonistic. The fast-paced corridors of power are filled with struggles, chaos, and the looming shadow of an economic crisis. Everything collides and intertwines in a dizzying dance of political maneuvers. Crises rise like tidal waves, one after the other, testing the resilience of those in its tumultuous wake. In this merciless world that feasts upon its own, the question arises: To what extent are these men willing to make sacrifices? How long can they withstand the relentless pressure in a state that consumes its own servants? The journey of Bertrand Saint-Jean offers a gripping exploration of these questions, painting a stark portrait of the daunting reality of political life.
