During the Avignon Festival, a boulevard actor convinces a girl he loves that he is playing the character of Rodrigue in Le Cid.
"Rodrigue in Love (Je Joue Rodrigue) is a French comedy set during the Avignon Festival, one of the most important events for the performing arts. There, an actor from a small theater company reunites with an acquaintance, a promising actress. To win her over, he tells her a lie: that he’s part of the production of Le Cid at the festival, an illusion he will go to great lengths to maintain. It’s a somewhat conventional farce but very fun, and it opens the door to reflect on the great, romantic lie that acting is as well."
