Le fils du comique
Always egocentric and in search of good words, always an assumed homosexual, but this time in couple with a companion whom he loves to martyr, it is now his desire to have a child that will be the crux of the story. He wants a son and he has promised him to two women: Sylvie, his best friend, and Isabelle, the promising actress in his next play! A real battle of "females" will then oppose the two young women, each of a very assertive nature... Five characters who tear each other apart for our greatest pleasure.
