As Minister of Health and Women’s Rights, Claude Phalène seems to be headed for the highest ranks of office. Confident in his own charisma and male power, he even fantasizes about the presidency. Because he is one of those men who can’t distinguish power from their own virility. Until one evening in bed with his spouse when he fails to rise to the occasion. And his fabulously wealthy wife suggests a separation...

Soon after, in a plane taking him to another speech on the road to success, he feels a strange tingling sensation in his right shoe. Is it a pebble? No, it’s more like a raisin, dark and wrinkly… Oh my god, it’s a toe!

The Minister of Health is falling apart.

Le Sexe du ministre is an irresistible fantasy about a libidinous politician who literally begins to fall apart. A toe-curling feminist fable about the mysteries of power and masculinity.
