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 Gauthier is convinced he will accept, since Serge himself has become a misanthrope, withdrawn from society and raging against the world. It would be wonderful to see him return in that part. But 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?  -------------------- Au sommet de sa carrière d'acteur, Serge Tanneur a quitté une fois pour toutes le monde du spectacle. Trop de colère, trop de lassitude. La fatigue d'un métier où tout le monde trahit tout le monde. Désormais, il vit en ermite dans une maison délabrée sur l'Île de Ré... Trois ans plus tard, Gauthier Valence, un acteur de télévision adulé des foules, débarque sur l'île. Il vient retrouver Serge pour lui proposer de jouer «Le Misanthrope» de Molière. Serge refuse tout net et confirme qu'il ne reviendra jamais sur scène. Pourtant, quelque chose en lui ne demande qu'à céder... PAR LE MÊME RÉALISATEUR QUE LES FEMMES DU 6IÈME ÉTAGE
