Synopsis
The owner of an IT company decides to sell his business. The problem is that when it was created, he had invented a president from scratch, hiding behind this fictional character when making unpopular decisions. However, potential buyers want to negotiate with this president... The president then calls on an unemployed actor to play this role. The actor will discover that he is a pawn in a story that will put his (lack of) moral sense to the test.
