DirectorActorsSynopsisThis is story of Monsieur Naphtali, who would have liked to remain in his mother's womb a little longer than most. Fortunately, afterwards there was the rest clinic. Unfortunately, sooner or later you've got to get out, get a life, discover the world, find a job, and take a wife. You have to grow up! So here he is, all alone in the big city. A nice girl takes him by the hand to play Mommy and Daddy, a game he doesn't know. She introduces him to a lot of nice people, adults who maybe need as much rest as he does. And yet in the space of three days, this little world falls apart. AboutElie Kakou is a rickety angel who buzzes around people, sowing doubt and elegantly reaping laughter, without appearing to try. Once the laughter has died the doubt remains – a creative, generous, free doubt. With Kakou, comedy and poetry erupt; once he goes away nothing is like it was before. We wanted to hug him, hold onto him, but he always moves off, as ungraspable as an unconscious image.
