A staging of Paul Claudel's play "Partage de Midi" by Antoine Vitez.
Germain, a great seducer, collects the mistresses. There are four, all brown, and all married. When the husband of one of them disembarks to threaten him with death, he must break up. But with which? The gouailleur Robert Lamoureux interprets this man who does not like to leave women.
A woman, believed to be the widow of a certain Edouard, finds herself urged to reveal to her 3 children some very embarrassing news, but not without importance. The many consequences that result will not disturb their respective betrothal.
In a small town in the 1950s a repertory company meets on Monday morning to start rehearsing the following week's play. This is a ghastly thing written by the aunt of one of the theatre's directors. The producer doesn't try to hide his annoyance about it, and is further exercised when the authoress herself arrives to help. The cast have to try and sort out real-life problems that keep intruding as they wrestle with the play's dire dialogue.
On stage, the actress talks about her life in the 20th-century French theatre, the great authors she played and the famous stage directors of the time who directed her.
