Carla Bruni´s Secret Diary

A year by »little Nick´s« side – Carla Bruni´s secret diary: Since her liason with the French president Nicolas Sarkozy, the life of ex-model and singer Carla Bruni has changed completely. The whole world looks at her. Whom can she still trust? Only her diary.

State visits, gala receptions and watching Who Wants to be a Millionaire in the Elysée-palace: Everything could be so beautiful… If it weren´t for the journalists who make a big affair out of every nude photograph and Cecilia, the old crow, who continuously calls her ex with kids-related questions as well as the would-be casanova Jean, Nicolas´ son from his first marriage.
And as if this wasn´t enough, Eric (Clapton) cannot stop lamenting about his lost love and PR-consultants think of new persecutions for the First Lady every day: shake hands on the hypermarket (at five in the morning), taking pictures with jam-smeared toddlers and running around in those silly ballerinas all the time.
Luckily, she is not all by herself: Benjamin (Biolay), a friend from old days, always keeps a joint ready for particular difficult hours and the idolizing gardener cannot be put to flight even by the secret service. In addition, there are good news from Germany: Carla is awarded the Bambi for her courage to stand by her love Sarko – against all odds. 
The only thing that remains to be done is to keep her petit Pygmée – that´s how she affectionately calls her husband – from continuously losing his composure.

Funnier than Helen Fielding, as true as Yazmina Reza: The secret diary of Carla Bruni is the most hilarious love story of the year (and reveals, how »Speedy Sarko« really won her heart)!
