    A confusion, the roof of wrong theater, the emotion of fans admiring their idol. And Peter Brook. A nice, soft ironic short film, seductive for actors presence, nice for the story and just cool for remind the viewer fascinations. And, no doubts, useful for remind small, significant things and to propose the name and presence of a magnificent theater director. So, just lovely.
