Synopsis

Étienne, an actor going through a hard time, agrees to run a theatre course in prison. Surprised by the acting talents of the inmates, he comes up with the idea of staging a play with them, Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot. A wonderful human adventure ensues. An optimistic, warm and very funny fable, which deftly avoids all the pitfalls inherent in this type of tale.
