Cast
What it is about
A travelling theatre company, made up of free-spirited and eccentric members, forms close bonds through its shared passion for the stage. The imminent arrival of a baby and the return of a former lover reopen old wounds within the group.
How it was made
Directed and written by Léa Fehner, with a screenplay developed alongside Catherine Paillé and Brigitte Sy. Philippe Liégeois produced the film. Adèle Haenel leads the cast as Mona, joined by Marc Barbé as Monsieur Déloyal and Lola Dueñas as Lola. The film blends comedy and drama and focuses on the everyday life of the troupe rather than on the performances they stage.
Reception and legacy
The film was nominated for the audience award at the International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR). Available information about its critical reception and legacy is limited, so any broader assessment should be treated with caution.
