In this fantasy, the actor with great talent takes on the role of this man of power at the center of the Vichy regime led by Marshal Petain. “It is exciting for the actor to play a man who was a patriotic bastard, the most hated man in France”He is captivated by the actor who never hesitates to accept this project despite the tensions this chapter has created in the country’s history.

The words that sparked controversy and made the association of sons and daughters of Jews deported from France jump. Thanks to Laval CollaboratorPatrick Chesnay tries to separate truth from falsehood. Laval tried to protect the French, including the Jews.
