An elderly actor embarks on a road trip, with unexpected consequences.

synopsis

Anxious because he is not currently employed, an aging actor embarks on a seemingly aimless road trip. He confides in a young British hitchhiker who understands almost nothing of his French. Mixing documentary scenes, impressionistic monologues and absurdist dialogues, the film focuses on a protagonist who only feels comfortable in fictional roles and struggles to live with himself and his past.
En proie à l'angoisse de ne pas jouer, un acteur d'âge mûr s'embarque dans un road trip sans but apparent. Il se confie à un jeune auto-stoppeur anglais qui ne comprends presque rien de son français. Mêlant scènes documentaires, monologues impressionnistes et dialogues absurdes le film se focalise sur un protagoniste qui ne peut vivre qu'au travers de personnages fictifs, ne parvenant pas à accepter son histoire et son passé.
Een acteur op leeftijd stelt zijn voorbije en toekomstige rollen in vraag en vertrekt op een roadtrip waarbij een traumatische geschiedenis zich ontluikt.
