Vive la république (1997)
Directed by Eric Rochant

Comedy / Drama
aka: Long Live the Republic

Film Synopsis

Driven to virtual despair by their own economic circumstances, a mixed group of unemployed people decide to band together and form their own political party.  This seemingly mad idea is proposed by Henri, a divorced father who is unable to find work, but it is readily supported by Victor and Emile, who are in a similar position.  They are joined by Sabine, whose RMI earnings are a small compensation for her eight years at university, reformed drug addict Yannick, Solange, a one-time Communist, and several others.  As the party grows, it becomes apparent that someone within it is acting to neutralise its effectiveness - but who?
