- 1848, Paris under Siege: Victor Hugo is torn between his family, his mistresses and political turmoil - never mind finally completing his classic novel Les Miserables. Although Hugo is a confirmed Royalist, he supports the Republic and Louis Napoléon Bonaparte, who is soon to become president, convinced that he will initiate social reforms. But when the new government is formed and Hugo is overlooked for office, he realizes that he has been used. Furious at the deception, he and his sons launch a daily newspaper to give the people a voice. Nor is it less chaotic on the home front, as he is juggling his love life between two mistresses and his long-suffering wife and mother of his children. When Napoléon seizes power and his sons are jailed for insurrection, Hugo insists that his wife and daughter leave Paris, where he remains, devoting himself wholeheartedly to the resistance. Openly denouncing repression, he is declared Enemy of the State and has to face disgrace and exile.
- The driving license system with points was set up in France in 1992. It consists in withdrawing a certain number of points from the license (which has twelve or six) depending on the seriousness of the offense, sometimes resulting in the retirement of the permit pure and simple. In such a case, point recovery courses are organized to help offending drivers to recover their license. Coline Serreau has undertaken to film this type of courses in various parts of the French territory, allowing their participants to express themselves, at the same time turning the floor over to different personalities, for or against the system.
