When she arrives at the Élysée Palace, Bernadette Chirac expects to finally claim the place she deserves, as she has always worked in the shadows of her husband to help him become the President of the Republic. Overlooked for being deemed too old-fashioned, Bernadette decides to take her revenge by becoming an essential media figure. Portrayed by the stunning Catherine Deneuve, who perfectly embodies this iconic political woman, Bernadette is a witty and intelligent biopic. Alongside her, Michel Vuillermoz excels in the role of Jacques Chirac, just as Denis Podalydès does in the role of Bernard Niquet, Bernadette's chief of staff.
