The show must go on, but unfortunately for Nina, the director of Macbeth, just three hours before the premiere of her first staging, the show might not happen at all. Trains, actors, even the equipment works against her. It might have to do with saying the title out loud, or maybe someone said, good luck! With no way out and time slipping away, Nina must hold the show together at all costs. Will she make it until the curtain rises? Because, at the Comédie-Française, there is one golden rule: the play is never cancelled.

This film was a Meetings on the Bridge participant.
