A fiction film shot and broadcast live on the evening of the second round of the presidential election and the end will depend on the result of the election.

This is the astonishing principle of

Day of Glory

, which Arte will offer on April 24 on the Internet and in cinemas.

“You will have the result at the same time as someone who is watching the news, but through a fiction.

It's a more poetic way of following the presidential election,” smiles one of the co-producers, Florent Peiffer.

Day of Glory

will be shot on Sunday April 24 from 7 p.m. to 8:05 p.m. and broadcast at the same time, on the arte.tv site, YouTube and Facebook, as well as in around thirty cinemas in France.

It recounts the reunion of two brothers, played by Félix Moati and Julien Campani, in their village in Lot-et-Garonne on the evening of the second round, after the death of their mother.

At 8 p.m., these politically opposed brothers will discover the face of the newly elected president on television.

A tangle between fiction and reality

“The challenge is to have such precise timing that you arrive right in front of the television at that moment.

It's very repetitive, it's not improvisation,” explains Jeanne Frenkel, who will co-direct the film with Cosme Castro.

This entanglement between fiction and reality implies that the scenario is both very precise and evolving until the last moment.

“It is already 70% written and will be 85% after the first round” on April 10, explains co-producer François Pécheux.

Because in addition to the result of the election, many parameters can influence the course of the film, essentially shot in sequence, without editing, with a single camera.

This forced the team to plan for a multitude of possibilities, charging the actors to stay in character no matter what.

“Even if there is something unforeseen, it will be part of the film.

The thing that scares me the most is the weather,” admits Jeanne Frenkel.

“We have options, plans A, B, C. We have one film in mind, but at the same time we have five!

“, she laughs.

The music will also be played live, by Flavien Berger, darling of trendy critics and regular collaborator of the Frenkel-Castro duo.
