DESTINED, they were both destined... That's the story Jean Destin tells us, through the correspondence between Marcel Pagnol and Jules Raimu.
Thanks to their intimate writings, we'll relive with them the behind-the-scenes story of a friendship that wrote some of the finest pages of 20th-century theater and cinema.
With an imaginative, contemporary and rhythmic staging, we'll visit all the places where their lives were played out: On stage, of course, but above all in dressing rooms, offices, restaurants, bars, on the street... In 1h30, it's the evocation of an intimate and professional complicity, bringing to life all those moments that were as intense as they were discreet, but which, thanks to their correspondence, have come down to us with their real words, their real expressions, their authentic outbursts and their declarations of love and respect that are as sincere as they are eternal. We discover Marcel Pagnol's intelligence and mischievousness, Jules Raimu's frankness and common sense, and the third character, "Jean", who brought so many others to life: theater managers, restaurateurs, prop-makers...
From the creation of Marius in the theater to the birth of talking pictures, from the difficulties of filming La Femme du Boulanger to the upheaval of the Second World War. We'll also see their consecrations: at the Comédie Française for one and at the Académie Française for the other.
The story of a life, the story of a duo, the story of the 20th century.
