THE FATHER - BOITACLOUS

André, a once-vibrant old man, accustomed to being in control, thought he would peacefully live out his final days. Until the day his anchors begin to slip away...

By moving him into the large apartment she shares with her husband, his daughter believes she is helping him, but soon the conversations go in circles, faces change, and furniture slides silently.

The father then becomes agitated, laughs at his own chaos, and refuses to accept the truth with the royal arrogance of someone who does not want to give up his independence. For him, perhaps more than anyone else, it is not so easy to become the child of his child!

With his play, adapted by him for the cinema and awarded two Oscars©, Florian Zeller does not depict degeneration; he invites us to step directly into a mind that is unraveling, tossed between truth and falsehood, chilling silences and erased words.

Thus, the growing solitude becomes a clockmaker's mechanism serving a cruel yet tender poetry that chills the blood and moistens the eyes.

Together with his accomplice Pierre Arditi, he delivers a play that turns the heart inside out like a glove, a dizzying mirror of our own fragility that continues to resonate long after the lights go down, like an echo that refuses to fade.
