Comédie-Française

Three hours before the premiere of her first play as a director at the Comédie-Française, Nina finds herself facing one setback after another. Delays, technical mishaps, and tensions within the team threaten to derail her big night. Still, she has no choice but to press on, because if there is one golden rule at the Comédie-Française, it is that the show must go on.

The feature debut of Martin Darondeau and Bertrand Usclat is a sharp, offbeat comedy that unfolds at breakneck speed. Filmed behind the scenes at the Salle Richelieu, the movie brings together members of the Comédie-Française company, including Pauline Clément, Laurent Stocker, and Marina Hands, who mischievously play exaggerated versions of themselves. A heartfelt love letter to theater and the power of collective endeavour.
