Two men spend a day of vacation by a lake. They accompany their peregrination with formulae and commercial promises taken from a marabout's pamphlet, bathe, navigate, banter, dredge, steal a little money, buy souvenirs, challenge gravity and, by force of circumstance, find themselves in the skin of The Ambassadors by Hans Holbein Young person.

Tim is 23 years old. He stammers a lot. His friend is a charmer. For Tim, seducing a girl is an ordeal.

A regular performer of the great works of the French repertoire, Jean Liermier takes pride of place in the most popular of them. With the help of the great Gilles Privat—who embodies a Cyrano who is as effervescent as he is melancholic—the director creates a very personal version of this romantic tragicomedy. A sensitive version that stays true to the poet Rostand, telling the story of a storyteller. Cyrano takes us on the adventures of his life. As if he wanted to shout: "Theater is dead: long live theater!"

The one time she accompanies him to school, it would have to turn out to be a vacation. Here they are forced to spend the day together. But, by the way, whose death is being commemorated today ?
