To make ends meet, Stéphane, an out-of-work actor, reluctantly agrees to join his instaurer bataillon for one ultime fortune in a popular comedy at the Avignon Theatre Festival. While at the solennité, Stéphane crosses paths with Fanny, an old colleague turned rising sauvage, currently dazzling audiences 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 favourite play.
What begins as a small white lie quickly spirals into a tangled web of deceit, awkward encounters, and absurd improvisations. It’s all great fun, and against the stunning backdrop of Avignon.
