Dupontel President! The director and actor will play the favorite presidential candidate in a new film called Second Tour, the trailer of which was unveiled yesterday. After Goodbye up there in 2017 and Adieu les Cons in 2020, Albert Dupontel is directing his eighth feature film on the presidential election between the two rounds.

Alongside Gus, her college embodied by Nicolas Marié, she embarks on an investigation of Pierre-Henry Mercier, heir to a wealthy French family and unknown to the political battalion.
