The Second Act
Directed by Quentin Dupieux
Produced by Chi-Fou-Mi Productions, ARTE France Cinéma
A meta, audaciously playful comedy-drama about romantic misdirection and performance, where characters navigate desire and identity through theatrical artifice and film-within-film storytelling.
Florence wants to introduce David, the man she’s madly in love with, to her father Guillaume. But David isn’t attracted to Florence and wants to throw her into the arms of his friend Willy. The four characters meet in a restaurant in the middle of nowhere.
