« The great and exuberant actress Eléonore Ravel, born when Raymond Poincaré was occupying the Ruhr, shares her life and her apartment with Thomas Langevin, a sixty-year-old man who is her butler, her friend, her accomplice and no doubt more besides ... One day, Éléonor agrees to receive a « young actor », in his forties, Christian Le Fils, whose dangerous admiration for her is without limits, and he offers her the main role in a play he has written exclusively for her ... However, this role is not unrelated to the one offered to her by Ingmar Bergman in 1957 and which she turned down in a film that was never made, The Red Shadows. The musical score by Jacques Bouniard was however preserved. Will Eléonore agree to play a last role, the last role ? » Christian Rullier
