Samuel Beckett in prison? A place where his most famous play, “Waiting for Godot,” takes on whole new dimensions with its fruitless perseverance? Actor Etienne (Kad Merad) has also been waiting for a stage engagement for three years and has retained his lovability despite the lack of work. When Etienne takes on the temporary role of theater workshop leader in a prison, an unusual group of inmates comes together to perform Beckett's Waiting for Godot. When permission finally arrives for the colorful troupe of actor-convicts to go on tour outside the prison, it's not only Etienne who finally gets the chance to show what he's really made of. “An optimistic, warm-hearted, down-to-earth comedy with carefully drawn, rough characters. The wordplay that arises from the friction between the characters is as inspiring as the enthusiastic passion for theater. - Worth seeing.” (Lexikon des Internationalen Films)
