Seasons
Beyond the statesman, who was de Gaulle? What was the driving force and the spring of the man who devoted himself to his country? What role did his discreet wife Yvonne and his daughter Anne play, which gave him the strength to hold out in his great moments of doubt? This film makes us relive the brilliance of the illustrious pages of French history and lifts the veil on the secret of a personality modestly hidden behind the hero's statue.
1. Solitude
June 1940. In London De Gaulle negotiates with Churchill to unify the two countries. But, an ultimate betrayal for the general, France asks for an armistice and Pétain takes power. 18 June, he broadcasts a radio appeal to continue the combat. 3 July, the Royal Navy attacks the French fleet.
2. Tous les combats du monde
September 1940. In Dakar, Pétain's French fleet machine-guns the Free French Forces. Additional suffering for De Gaulle, beset by doubts. All the more so as he is increasingly opposed to Churchill and has to face the hostility of Roosevelt. Spring 1943, the general and his family move to Algiers
3. Liberté, liberté chérie

A provisional government is established, led by De Gaulle. The time has come for reconstruction. January 1946. Refusing to play party politics, De Gaulle leaves power.

The constitution of the Fifth Republic was born, Charles de Gaulle entered the Elysee Palace in January 59. Putsch of the generals in 1961, multiple attempted attacks against de Gaulle… the question of Algeria remained burning. When the year 1965 opens, de Gaulle suggests that he might not stand for the presidential election in December. Yvonne, who has linked her fate to his, discreetly encourages a few relatives to dissuade the General from being a candidate. But how to abandon France?
5. Le chagrin des hommes
May 1968. With France in turmoil De Gaulle doesn't understand what is in play. Increasingly, those around Prime Minister Pompidou call for De Gaulle to go. With no sign of events calming down, a general strike and student rebellion are launched. De Gaulle secretly joins General Massu in Baden-Baden.
6. Crépuscule
