Les enfants du soleil

Although he has been starring in some movies, Philippe Caubère is more of a "theatre-type" person. In 1983 he began telling his own story through some rather brilliant 12 plays : they were all pretty long (between 150 and 210 minutes each !) and he was the only actor on stage, playing all the roles he had written. In 1996 he played the whole thing for the last time (in Paris) and decided to film each episode so that there would be a trace of it... And there is...! I don't know if it is possible to describe how it feels to watch this : it's full of laughs, tears, love, hate, jealousy.

it's incredibly funny and poignant at the same time. An absolutely brilliant trip...
