When an old man learns that he hasn't got much time left, he resolves to fulfil his life long dream, to have his favourite play performed in his own house just for him.

Summoning a theatre troupe to his country mansion he instructs them to begin rehearsing for 'The Myth of Dionysus'. However what he hadn't anticipated is the neuroses of the troupe leader, the petty power struggles, the bed hopping and childish jealousies that finally oblige him to take the stage and enact his own death.

Writer and director Damien Odoul also stars in this comic film, which has echoes of Monty Python and Bunuel, featuring dream sequences and physical humour. With three films behind him, Odoul is developing a reputation as a director with a singular poetic vision.
