Cap Escape Plaisance Club

Schauplatz International

An artist couple, no longer so young, flees to the Côte d’Azur to learn standard dances in order to be able to reposition themselves on the art market. To do so, should they pretend to be a pair of Iranian dissidents? They make contact with the local cultural policymakers and plan their performance in an old movie theater. But it all ends up being too much: the world, themselves as artists, their legitimacy. Their only hope is dance – and so they dance.
