The Prude

Directed by Jacques Doillon

With Michel Piccoli, Sandrine Bonnaire, Sabine Azéma, Laurent Malet and Brigitte Coscas

Pierre is the artistic director of a theater, and when his daughter Manon lets him know that she is coming to see him after a year's absence, Pierre decides to prepare for the meeting. He goes to the theater with his girlfriend Ariane and has the actresses in his troupe act out different aspects of his daughter's character. Unfortunately, this is not adequate preparation, for when Manon does show up, nothing goes quite as he imagined...
