Etienne is a charming yet often unemployed actor who finds himself struggling to make ends meet. Despite the hardships, his passion for the craft remains unwavering. He channels this zeal into running a unique theater workshop within the confines of a prison, where he brings together a diverse and unconventional group of inmates. These prisoners, each with their own distinct backgrounds and stories, learn to work as a cohesive unit under Etienne's guidance.

Embarking on a tour, the group faces the challenges and excitement of presenting their work to external audiences. For Etienne, this journey offers the chance to step out of the shadows of underemployment and prove his talent, ultimately allowing him to thrive in his chosen art form.
