In 1950s France, Helene and Michel lead a simple, predictable life.

Now, Helene is a powerful bank executive, while Michel struggles with unemployment and depression. As their children grow up in a world dominated by technology, their marriage and world are turned upside down. Can they adapt to this new reality and find happiness again, or will they ever return to the past?

La Comédie-Française

Directed by Martin Darondeau, Bertrand Usclat
With Pauline Clément, Laurent Stocker, Julien Frison

At the Comédie-Française, there is one golden rule: the play is never canceled. Unfortunately for Nina, everything else is—just three hours before the premiere of her first staging. An actor is stuck on a train, tensions explode, equipment breaks down, egos clash, and panic sets in. With no way out and time slipping away, Nina must hold the show together at all costs. Will she make it until the curtain rises?
