The story behind

Drawn from the making-of "Chien de la Casse", this mockumentary is as much a wacky comedy about an aspiring actor as it is a reflection on language, communication, and our place in the world. It also serves as the inspiration for "I LOVE PERU", which Raphaël Quenard and Hugo David are co-directing once again.
