Paul Francoeur has just won the primaries of his party and is launching a presidential campaign that promises to be tumultuous.

When a rumor of fraud in the primaries threatens to weaken his boss’s candidacy, César realizes that he will have to lead the most challenging battle of his life.

Our take

An adaptation by Pierre Schoeller of the novel of the same name by Edouard Philippe and Gilles Boyer, In the Shadows takes us into the gripping backstage world of a political election. With an impressive cast including Karin Viard, Swann Arlaud, Melvil Poupaud, Evelyne Brochu and Sofian Khammes (Éclat de la révélation actor 2023).
