Le bon plaisir (1984)

A woman who ten years earlier had an affair with the current President is mugged in the street and has her handbag stolen. Inside that handbag is a letter from him asking her to perform an abortion.

One of those dramas which seem to presuppose that (a) politicians are extremely important persons and (b) their privates lives are extremely interesting for the common folks. As neither (a) nor (b) are true, what we get here is in equal parts tedious and implausible. I guess the actors are the only thing here which could perhaps draw viewers to the movie. But, alas, if we don't see it, how will we know it is really that bad?
