    • Synopsis
    • At the age of 50, Martin Marchand is not satisfied with his status as an entrepreneur and decides to accept a political candidacy, betting on his technical control of the new trends in communication, and hollowed out slogans as "independence" or "transparency".
      Martin convenes a group of technicians and advisers to stay during a weekend at his country- house to design his profile as leader.
      However, some members of the team seem more interested in gathering information on Marchand´s bussiness than in the political campaign for which they were hired.
      A musician, a graphic designer, an agency coordinator, a media consultant, an executive operator, a personal assistant, and various advertising creatives, are all seemingly aligned in the project; but Martin struggles to find a reliable mirror on which to locate his image.
      Focusing on the audiovisual campaign rather than on his ideology, the team create Martin´s profile as if it were a fictional character; and under the logic of fiction, the candidate’s personal threads start to unfold.
