A French film co-written and directed by Johann Dionnet, released in 2025. It premiered at the 2025 Alpe d'Huez Film Festival, where it won three awards, including the Grand Prix.
Stéphane is a struggling theater actor. Despite his reluctance, he returns to his old troupe and participates once again in the renowned Avignon Festival with a farcical play entitled "Ma sœur s'incruste" (My Sister Uninvited). There, he runs into Fany, an actress he met at a theater workshop several years earlier. Her career is far more established—she has won a Molière Award—and she is starring in Victor Hugo's classic, "Ruy Blas." Charmed by her, Stéphane gets closer to her through a misunderstanding that he turns into a lie: in Fany's eyes, he is playing Rodrigue in "Le Cid" at the prestigious Théâtre du Chêne Noir.
