Dir Martin Darondeau, Bertrand Usclat | France | 2026 | 75 mins | Rated 15 | French
Nina is making her directing debut at the Comédie-Française with a production of Macbeth. But with only hours until curtain up, her lead actress is stranded in Brittany by a rail strike, while lighting failures, coat-rack disasters, unlearned lines, and a babysitter-less baby pile chaos onto the troupe. Egos clash and stress mounts backstage, yet Nina has no choice but to push forward: the institution's golden rule is that a performance is never cancelled. What follows is a frantic and hilarious race against the clock to save opening night.
Starring Pauline Clément, Laurent Stocker, Julien Frison
