An Unprecedented Candidacy
A few months before the presidential election, the campaign already seems endless. Among the candidates is François Rousseau, who decides to adopt an unprecedented strategy: making Cobot, an experimental artificial intelligence developed at Fontenys, his main campaign assistant. Former journalist Franck is invited to attend the first public presentation of the device, where he sees Eva for the first time.
