Directed by Patrick Mimouni

Comedy
aka: When I'm a Star

Film Synopsis

Marc, 23, resents the fact that he was born to a celebrity couple.  His mother is Diane de Montalte, a well-known Parisian actress; his father was Farid Daoudi, a singer who died in the 1980s.  Sick of his mother's mad ambitions and the empty world she inhabits, Marc opts to become a steward.  His rebellion is as comical as it is cruel, but it is his way of breaking free of his mother's influence and making the transition to adulthood.
