The Clown

Directed by Maxime Genois

With Emmanuel Schwartz, Gabriel Lemire, Aliocha Schneider, Sébastien Tessier and Rose-Marie Perreault

A trained actor, the protagonist is dreaming of playing tragic heroes of the classical repertoire, but his career is going nowhere. In order to earn a living, he becomes “Coquetti the Clown” and gets hired to entertain kids at birthday parties. In the film, we see him on his way to fulfill one of his usual contracts, or so he thinks, not yet knowing that a lifechanging experience awaits him.
