Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Alain, a famous actor, agrees to play the impossible role of Jacques Brel. Realising that it might be the last role of his life, he decides to leave the set in the middle of a scene to see Lou, his daughter, whom he has not seen grow up. Against all expectations, Lou gradually enters into his fictional universe.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
