Pierre Laval (June 28, 1883 – October 15, 1945) remains the controversial embodiment of collaboration under the Vichy regime. Although he was not the only architect of this dark period, he was its most visible and controversial representative, going so far as to declare, on June 22, 1942, his wish to see Germany triumph. Hated and caricatured, Laval has become over time the reviled symbol of an era that many wanted to erase. This film explores his political and personal journey, while shedding light on the choices and actions of the Vichy regime. A fascinating dive into the story of a man who became the scapegoat of a nation in search of redemption.
