Guru (2026)
📖 Story
Mathieu Vasseur knows how to reach people through their fear before he reaches their ambition. Guru follows a brilliant self-help coach who turns public anxiety into a stage, selling a simple promise: become stronger, richer, and more in control if you follow his voice. But as his fame grows, the line between motivation and exploitation begins to vanish, and charisma becomes a weapon rather than a cure. The film is not only about a loud rise to success; it is about a man who builds power from other people’s need for certainty, then discovers that the image he created may be more dangerous than any rival.
