Legendary French actress Catherine Deneuve plays Bernadette Chirac in this uproarious comedy based on actual events.
1995, Jacques Chirac is elected President of the French Republic. When Bernadette Chirac steps into the Elysee, she’s ready for the recognition she’s earned, having tirelessly supported her husband’s journey to the presidency. Instead, she finds herself set aside and brushed off as old-fashioned, cold and sour-tempered. With the help of her chief of staff, she embarks on a campaign to restore her reputation and assert her role as first lady.
You will find yourself smiling, laughing, and empathising with this delightful character, flawlessly personified by the wonderful Deneuve. – Palace Cinemas
