The Candidate

Shortly before the presidential election in a European state, Michel Dedieu stepped in at the last minute to replace his party's candidate, who was forced to withdraw due to a rapidly spreading cancer. The day after the first round, he has very little time to prepare with his close team for the televised debate that will pit him against his opponent. Unpopular with the media and the public, he must improve his image and refine his arguments at all costs.
