Plot summary
Moon Films is the production company Grégoire Canvel built around the cinema he cares about, films free and true to life. He has a wife, Sylvia, and three daughters, an apartment in Paris and a house in the country, and his work takes nearly all of his time. Directors call him at the house in the country on the weekends he spends with his family, and so do investors. Moon Films has taken on too many productions and too many risks, and the debts behind them leave its future in doubt. Grégoire keeps agreeing to new films while the productions already underway keep adding to the costs.
