The Minister

Bertrand Saint-Jean (Olivier Gourmet), France's Minister of Transport, wants to do the job well and still have a life of his own. A phone call in the middle of the night ends that: a bus has gone off the road into a gully, and Gilles (Michel Blanc), his director of staff, says he has to go to the scene. Pierre Schoeller follows him through the days after in the procedural detail of cars, corridors and carefully worded statements.
