About

Three hours before her first premiere, Nina Cardi must hold the Comédie-Française show together despite a stranded actor, broken equipment and fraying tempers.

At the Comédie-Française, the show is supposed to go on no matter what. That rule is tested three hours before the premiere of Nina Cardi's first production. Pauline Clément plays Nina Cardi, who finds the evening coming apart around her: an actor is stranded on a train, equipment fails, and tempers fray as the clock runs down. The cast also includes Laurent Stocker, Julien Frison, Marina Hands, Adeline D'Hermy, Danièle Lebrun, Sefa Yeboah and Christian Hecq. With the curtain approaching, Nina tries to keep the production on track.
