Victor comme tout le monde

Robert Zuchini is an actor in love with the words of Victor Hugo. Every evening, he goes to a Parisian theater to read and recount the novelist and poet's work before a large audience. Offstage, he carries a gentle melancholy, tinged with solitude. His wife, who is very busy with her career, goes on business trips to the United States; they love each other, but from a distance. He no longer has contact with his daughter, Lisbeth, whom he did not raise. When her mother dies, she reappears in Robert's life, but communication is difficult, even impossible: where he takes refuge in texts and the past, she demands his presence in the moment. Little by little, through contact with this modern and independent young woman, Robert Zuchini reconnects with his past, opens up to others, and relearns the practice of his art.
