On the eve of a vote to greenlight the construction of a leisure centre where a primal forest currently stands, an unashamedly right-wing mayor sets out to trap his ecologist opponent. But both will end up being outwitted by a group of feminist activists who will confront the two men with their own contradictions, once and for all.

Racial & Ethnic Diversity
The story centers on a localized political struggle regarding land use. There is no specific evidence of racial blending or a diverse ensemble within the provided details.
Religious & Cultural Diversity

AI Analysis
En même temps succeeds in subverting traditional power hierarchies by placing agency in the hands of feminist activists. Rather than a standard male-driven political drama, the film uses these women to dismantle the contradictions of the established leadership. While the film excels in cultural critique and gendered agency, it remains limited in its explicit representation of LGBTQ+ identities and racial diversity. The focus on a localized ecological conflict keeps the scope narrow. Overall, the film is a sharp social satire that uses unconventional character studies to challenge institutional structures, even if certain demographic categories remain unaddressed.
