À mon tour

In a small French town, Mayor Félix de Ponte is lining up his re-election campaign, hoping to stop a far-right challenger from taking the town hall. Just as momentum builds, a broadcast exposes an extramarital affair and Félix's public persona comes apart. Betrayed and humiliated, his wife decides she will not stay quiet and throws her hat in the ring, turning what should have been a local political fight into an intense family contest. The film follows how private mistakes, media exposure and electoral pressure collide, shifting loyalties and expectations without giving away how it all resolves.

The TV movie was released in 2022, directed by Frédéric Berthe and created by Mickaël Quiroga and Vincent Solignac. It stars François-Xavier Demaison as Félix de Ponte, with Oscar Berthe, François Berléand, Kolia Abiteboul and Inès Limbourg in key roles.

Critical response was mixed, reflected in a modest user score of 5.7/10 from a small sample of viewers. Reviewers and audiences noted the film's attempt to mix comedic beats with sincere drama, and opinions split on whether the tone landed smoothly. Central themes include the cost of image management in politics, gender and power within a family under public scrutiny, and how humor can be used to soften sharper critiques of local political life. Performances, especially from the lead, were often highlighted as a reason to watch.

Though it didn’t spark major awards or wide international attention, the movie prompted conversation around how private scandals play out in modern politics. Viewers interested in intimate political stories and character-driven comedies appreciated its focus on a family navigating sudden public exposure, and it found a niche audience curious about the messy overlap of home life and electioneering.
