Feu! Chatterton

Friday, July 4 marks the end of a chapter for Sacha: her final day of drama school and the beginning of the long road to finding her place as an actress. That very evening, she heads to the Avignon Festival. She sets off in her van with four friends - a journey to come to terms with failure and to prove, to her family and to herself, that she made the right choice.

The 20s. In a seaside resort where everybody is bored, Albert Marvuglia, a slightly shabby conjurer, makes Marta, the wife of the wealthy bourgeois Charles Moufflet, disappear, who takes advantage of this tour to escape for good.

Johnny, a local activist, is wanted by the police after a robbery gone wrong. Paul, his childhood friend, comes back home after 15 years to find him before the police. Investigator Anna Radoszewski is also on Johnny’s trail. Thus begins a search in which memo- ries and secrets resurface. In a social context that shakes the town, everybody is looking for Johnny, who soon becomes the symbol of a revolt.
