The film follows a fictional female political journalist (played by a then-unknown Eastern European actress who would later become a Dorcel icon) who is assigned to follow a charismatic but morally ambiguous presidential candidate during a rural electoral tour. As the bus travels through the French countryside, the journalist’s professional camera becomes secondary to her intimate diary—a video journal documenting the private requests, power dynamics, and sexual bargains that occur after the rallies end.
The sun rises over the rolling hills of the countryside, casting a golden glow over the landscape. Today is a new day, full of possibilities and challenges. As I step out into the crisp morning air, there's a sense of anticipation. The campaign trail is long and winding, with its share of ups and downs. MARC DORCEL - Journal Intime De Campagne
