Synopsis

Adapted from his own novel, Emmanuel Carrere also directs LA MOUSTACHE, an existential thriller about a man who inadvertently loses himself.

Out of the blue Marc Thiriez (Vincent Lindon) decides to shave off the moustache he's had all his adult life and waits for reactions from his wife Agnes (Emmanuelle Devos) and friends but nothing happens. Their lack of response perplexes him and when he directly asks them for a reaction to his missing moustache they all emphatically say he has never had one! What's going on?
