Original title: Les Rêveurs
Nationality: France
Élisabeth, an actress, leads writing workshops at Necker Hospital for teenagers in great distress. Through her contact with them, she is plunged back into her childhood memories, when her own hospitalization led her to theater and resilience. This introspective drama evokes transmission, healing, and creative power in the face of pain.
Like Emmanuelle Bercot's Standing Tall and Olivier Nakache and Éric Toledano's The Specials, Les Rêveurs highlights journeys of individual and collective reconstruction, where art becomes a driving force for balance and freedom.
The cast brings together different generations and sensibilities: Alex Lutz, Judith Chemla, Nicole Garcia, Vincent Dedienne, and Bernard Campan star alongside young actors including Tessa Dumont Janod, in an approach that is both realistic and compassionate.
Fans of sensitive, socially conscious French cinema will recognize themes dear to Isabelle Carré: kindness, rebuilding, and the importance of community. The presence of theater as a common thread illustrates the link between artistic expression and personal resilience.
Adapted from her novel, Les Rêveurs promises to be a film about emotion and transmission, in which Isabelle Carré transforms her experiences into a universal story about adolescence, fragility, and healing through art.
