Synopsis: CASTELLA (Jean-Pierre Bacri) is a successful suburban businessman caught behind the fast-changing times. More out of boredom than out of interest, he allows his wife ANGÉLIQUE (Christiane Millet) to drag him to a performance of Racine's Bérénice. Much to his surprise, he is overwhelmed by the power and beauty of the lead actress, CLARA (Anne Alvaro), who plays the Queen. He becomes so infatuated with her that he goes back to the play night after night. Finally, these two polar opposites are forced together when Castella reluctantly tries to learn English for an important business deal and his English teacher turns out to be Clara. These are but two of the satellites revolving in writer-director Agnès Jaoui’s universe. Around them gravitate others who perhaps should never have met, but their encounters reveal facets of their personalities they would never have suspected.

Comment: The debut film of the award-winning co-writer of hit comedies Un Air de Famille and Same Old Song. AKA, "Le Gout Des Autres". Montreal World Film Festival - Grand Prize Winner
