Les Promesses
From one year to the next, the Cinémathèque québécoise takes the pulse of recent and current French cinema, in partnership with the Institut français, in order to follow the evolution of an increasingly diversified French production.
Mayor of a city in the 93 region, Clémence and Yazid, her chief of staff, are engaged in a fierce battle to save the Bernardins district, a housing estate plagued by insalubrity and "sleep merchants". This will be his last fight, before handing over to the next election. But when Clémence is approached to become a minister, her ambition puts all her plans into question. Can Clémence abandon her city, her loved ones, and her promises?...
