With a place in the family business and a beautiful girlfriend, wealthy Antoine seems to have everything. But his life is sent spinning when he's offered the lead role in a film. Agonizing over whether he should take the part, Antoine learns that Lucas, the actor previously cast for the role, had committed suicide. Apparently Lucas, who was gay, was having a tragic affair with Louise, the film's domineering director. Though uncertain about the project, Antoine decides to star in the film. His father quickly kicks him out of the house, forcing Antoine into the seductive arms of Louise…

Antoine, a business school graduate, has his future laid out for him. Sooner or later, he will end up succeeding his father at the head of a booming business enterprise. Antoine is bright but he is bored. As a lark, as a challenge, to prove he is not in a rut, he accepts a lead role in a film in preparation. Scandal ensues. The more Antoine commits to the unknown, the more alone and misunderstood he finds himself, torn as he is between his parents' wounded love and the insatiable passion of the woman directing the film.


An interesting plot, and the film is story-driven before it stalls. The main plot vanishes, as you thought it was supposed to go, into a story of confused souls. The story is about troubled souls, seeking after what they miss in their lives. In this way we see that a search for one self and answers is hard when you lose your path.

Filming is great, acting as well, though it might be hard following depressed souls. I like how background sound disappeared just to make room for dialog a couple of times. Still the film stalls so much on an interesting premise, that you're bound to get disappointed. However, if you like to dream your own end to a film, this is a perfect one!
