- Synopsis
- To make ends meet, Stéphane, an out-of-work actor, reluctantly agrees to join his former troupe for one final performance in a popular comedy at the Avignon Theatre Festival—a vibrant stage where all genres of theatre exist side by side, yet never truly intersect.
  While at the festival, Stéphane crosses paths with Fanny, a former intern and colleague who is now starring in a Victor Hugo classic. Determined to impress her, he impulsively claims he is playing the prestigious lead role of Rodrigue in Corneille's Le Cid—her favorite play.
  What begins as a small white lie quickly spirals into a tangled web of deceit, awkward encounters, and absurd improvisations. With the help of his troupe members, Stéphane tries to come clean, but his growing infatuation with Fanny clouds his judgment. How long can he maintain the charade before it all falls apart?
