Synopsis
Things have changed since the Panique au Ministere. Louis has retired from his position as Minister of Education and married Sara, the young daughter of his former Chief of Staff, Gabrielle. He is also an expectant father as Sara is heavily pregnant with his child. Cecile has taken up a position with the Government now as Minster of Youth and Sport with her daughter Gabrielle and Eric (the former gardener now married to Gabrielle) as her Chief of Staff.
Cecile in an unexpected display of ambition declares herself a candidate for the presidency of France and that Louis is her lover! This puts the entire team in a tail spin as they try to work out if the candidacy is just a stunt and how will they hide the truth about Louis and Sara! Eric has a secret that could cost him both his job and marriage. How will all this play out? Will Cecile win the presidency? Will Louis/Sara & Gabrielle/Eric’s marriages survive?
