Didier Fontan
Anne Kessler, Laurent Natrella
A little house in the suburbs in the middle of nowhere. A car trapped in the snow. The great desperation of a couple who kill time in front of the television. And this strange impression of déjà-vu. But you better hold on because at any moment everything could change.

La Comédie-Française is the oldest continuous repertory company in the world, founded in Paris in the late 17th century.

Vincennes Neuilly
Pierre Dupouey
Philippe Étesse, Anne Kessler
Jérôme and Sophie are "foreigners". They evolve in a world whose rules seem to them as many constraints and adopt unusual behaviors which can disorientate their interlocutors. They say they are brother and sister and many people prefer to believe them and be satisfied with this version for fear of supporting a situation that is too scabrous. Only Olivia accepts to assume the situation. Her taste for derision and her humor allow her to overcome the provocations of the couple and to take an ascendancy on them.
