In three hours, Nina will reveal her directorial debut at the Comédie-Française. But nothing is going according to plan: delays, technical glitches, and mounting tensions among the crew threaten her big night.
Still, she has to push through—because if there’s one golden rule at the Comédie-Française, it’s that the show must go on. The debut feature from Martin Darondeau and Bertrand Usclat is a sharp, zany, fast-paced comedy. Filmed behind the scenes at the Salle Richelieu, it brings together members of the troupe—including Pauline Clément, Laurent Stocker, and Marina Hands—who mischievously play playful, offbeat versions of themselves. A true love letter to the theatre and the power of the collective.
Awarded at Alpe d'Huez festival, this film will be presented as a Canadian premiere at this 32nd edition of Festival CINEMANIA.
