A regular performer of the great works of the French repertoire, Jean Liermier takes pride of place in the most popular of them. With the help of the great Gilles Privat—who embodies a Cyrano who is as effervescent as he is melancholic—the director creates a very personal version of this romantic tragicomedy. A sensitive version that stays true to the poet Rostand, telling the story of a storyteller. Cyrano takes us on the adventures of his life. As if he wanted to shout: "Theater is dead: long live theater!"

Wednesday is the day when children are not in school and stay at home. It is also the day when the parents are not there. In Nantes, in the spring, twenty or so carefree and boisterous kids between the ages of three and eleven take advantage of this day to make their parents go crazy. Emma, 9 years old and naturally romantic, decides that Roland, the little boy she met in the street, is unhappy and persuades her friends to adopt him. Victoria spends the day with Martin Socoa, an often distant father whom she learns to love. There are also Muriel, Bruno, Colette and Henri who take off and create panic in their parents' home, while Marylin lives the founding drama of her childhood with a mother of an unreal sweetness. Throughout these little stories, we realize that the world of children has its own logic, totally different from that of adults.
