[UN TRIOMPHE]
Special Presentation
Etienne (Kad Merad, THE CHORUS, WELCOME TO THE STICKS), an often out-of-work but endearing actor, runs a theater workshop in a prison where he brings together an unlikely troupe of inmates to stage Samuel Beckett's famous play, "Waiting for Godot." After months of working with the new actors to fine-tune their natural talents and much bargaining with the warden, he is given permission to take the colorful band of convicts on a tour into the outside world. Now, Etienne and his troupe finally have the chance to thrive. After the first rousing performance, each added show is a new success, and a unique relationship grows between this ad hoc group of actors and their director. But soon comes the final performance in Paris. Will their last night together be the biggest hit of them all? This winning comedy, based on a true story, features brilliant performances from the young, up-and-coming cast, as well as veteran actors from the Comédie Française, the oldest active theater company in the world.
