Details: A once great actor, Serge Tanneur (Fabrice Luchini), has retired from the limelight. Too much pressure meant that one day, he simply decided he would act no more. For the past three years, he has lived in solitude on the Île de Ré, spending his time cycling through the windswept landscape. Fellow actor Gauthier Valence (Lambert Wilson), whose career is flying high, is planning a production of Molière's play The Misanthrope and wants to offer Serge the title role. Gauthier is convinced he will accept, since Serge himself has become a misanthrope, with drawn from society and raging against the world. It would be wonderful to see him return in that part. Goal Serge plays hard to get. Instead of committing, he suggests they rehearse together for the week. Things look to be going well, especially when a mysterious Italian divorcee (Maya Sansa) brings a romantic spark into his life. With the play's producer, Gauthier's agent and his lover all arriving on the island at the weekend, the pressure is on Serge to make up his mind. Is he merely toying with Gauthier, or does he really intend to take to the stage once more? -------------------- At the height of his acting career, Serge Tanneur left the show business once and for all. Too much anger, too much fatigue. The fatigue of a job where everyone betrays everyone. From now on, he lives as a hermit in a dilapidated house on the Ile de Ré... Three years later, Gauthier Valence, a television actor adored by the crowds, lands on the island. He comes to find Serge to offer him to play “Le Misanthrope” by Molière. Serge flatly refuses and confirms that he will never come back on stage. However, something in him is just waiting to give way... BY THE SAME DIRECTOR AS THE WOMEN ON THE 6TH FLOOR
