According to the filmmaker, "it’s the story of this totally unknown Dane who won an architecture competition and found himself thrust into a leading role heading up a gigantic building site. The film also explores the shift at the beginning of Mittérand’s era towards a harsher, colder and more liberal reality which came to impose itself over the course of his five-year term." Production is entrusted to Ex Nihilo.
