Amidst the turmoil of World War II, Philippe Pétain rises to absolute power, steering France through a tumultuous period marked by conflict and controversy. As the war draws to a close with the arrival of Allied forces, Pétain's regime, characterized by its collaboration with Nazi Germany, escapes the reckoning many anticipated.

The film explores themes of power, betrayal, and the moral ambiguities of wartime leadership.
