Trailer

Why watch this film?

It could be a real documentary, but in fact, this movie is a mockumentary, a drama that uses documentary elements to tell a story. Director and actor Alex Lutz poses as a once famous singer, Guy Jamet, in an ironic commentary on fatherhood and the fleeting nature of fame. It's so good that it will surely make some viewers think that it is really a documentary. Part of the official selection of the Semaine de la Critique, a parallel show to the Cannes Festival.
