Robert Mitchum Is Dead

Franky is a struggling actor, trying to make the big time but not entirely succeeding. When his manager Arsène whisks him off to the Arctic Circle promising a big break, Franky goes along willingly. Thinking that he is on his way to meet a famous director shooting an American film, the pair blunders its way across Europe, meeting people and coming across situations out of the ordinary. However, as they get closer to the Arctic Circle, Franky begins to have trouble determining what’s real, and what’s not.

Franky est un acteur de seconde zone en pleine dépression. Arsène, son manager, croit en son potentiel de star et l’embarque sur les routes d’une Europe improbable, à la recherche d’un cinéaste mythique, direction le cercle polaire. Une odyssée « mélancomique » entre vitamines et somnifères, rock’n roll et femmes fatales.
