THE BIG HIT
Starring Kad Merad, Marina Hands, Laurent Stocker, Pierre Lottin, Wabinlé Nabié, Aleksandr Medvedev, Saïd Benchnafa, David Ayala, Mathilde Courcol-Rozès and Sofian Khammes. Directed by Emmanuel Courcol.

Disillusioned and divorced middle-aged thespian Étienne accepts an arts rehabilitation role, leading a theatre workshop group at a correctional facility, under the watchful eye of open-minded but cautious warden Ariane. His program attracts a motley group, and Étienne, surprised by the raw talent he unearths, comes up with the idea of workshopping Beckett’s 'Waiting for Godot'. To the surprise of many, the play’s existential themes prove to be a natural fit for the inmates, and the connection between the cast and their kind-hearted director grows stronger with every rehearsal... though not without exception, and some very unexpected ramifications.
