A huge hit in France, this ensemble drama revolves around two very different social groups whose encounters with each other change several lives in surprising ways. Self-made, Rouen businessman Castella (Jean-Pierre Bacri) is working on an important deal, which his college-educated partner (Xavier de Guillebon) thinks might go more smoothly if Castella were to improve his English. Castella hires a tutor, Clare (Anne Alvaro), but he's no more interested in studying than he is in seeing the play his wife Angelique (Christinae Millet) insists they attend. Imagine Castella's surprise when he finds himself enthralled by Racine's
Berenice and overwhelmed by the star...
