Synopsis

Spoiler shield

This profile of director Alexandre Trannoy is profoundly moving. But you would be forgiven for asking 'Alexandre who?' because Trannoy never completed a single film in his 30-year career, despite working on multiple projects and with illustrious names like Jean Rochefort, Anouk Aimée, Lino Ventura and Marlene Dietrich. A fascinating study of a noble dreamer.
