Baptiste, a talented imitator, cannot make a living from his art. One day, he is approached by Pierre Chozène, a famous but discreet novelist, disturbed by solicitors, socialites, and annoying and importunate people. Pierre needs calm to finish his most ambitious, most intimate text. He offers Baptiste to become his voice on the telephone, and Baptiste becomes his answering service—with complicated results.
The film was shot in summer 2023. It was adapted from Luc Blanvillain's 2020 novel. This feel-good French rom-com about deception and impersonation is making its East Coast premiere after having a screening in LA at a French Comedy Club. This screening is presented by the Three Rivers Film Festival | Film Pittsburgh during November 12-23.
Tickets General Admission tickets are $18 which includes a free parking pass at the nearby Theater Square Parking Garage.
