When a wealthy old man discovers that he is suffering from an incurable disease, he pledges to allow himself one final luxury, a private performance of his favourite play.

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/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.
