Synopsis
Tapie is a mini-series that traces the romantic destiny of an extraordinary character, Bernard Tapie, one of the most iconic and controversial French public figures. Throughout the seven episodes, Laurent Lafitte will step into the shoes of Bernard Tapie, exploring his rise and fall.

Note from the artistic direction
With this Bernard Tapie biopic, Netflix is back in competition, and for the first time with a French series. It revisits the origins of the Tapie phenomenon, who didn’t start off quite so well, between a career in music cut short, small business issues, meeting Dominique, and his difficult relationship with his parents… But we can already sense in all of these, his relentless determination, carried by a completely possessed performance by Laurent Lafitte, and marvelous supporting roles.
