Description:

In this compelling drama, renowned actor Serge Tanneur abandons the glitz and glamour of Hollywood for a life of solitude on the isolated French coast. Three years later, Gauthier Valence, a fellow thespian, tracks him down to offer a unique proposition – a role in his directorial debut: a modern adaptation of Molière's classic play, "The Misanthrope." Initially uninterested, Serge agrees to rehearse the opening scene and re-evaluate his decision after five days. This intriguing premise sets the stage for an intense battle between two actors while they navigate peculiar encounters with a hotel maid dreaming of life as a pornstar and a vivacious Italian divorcee. As the story unfolds, it delves deep into themes of personal growth, ambition, and self-discovery, offering audiences a gripping, emotionally rich experience.
