Pierre is a family man, commercial director at a company that manufactures photo lenses. While his wife and son are away at a ski resort, the director decides to invite home a young woman he met by chance at a bar. In the bloom of middle age, he decides for the first time to taste the “forbidden fruit,” beginning a promising flirtation, but everything does not go as planned, and the events and unexpected twists of the night will change Pierre’s life forever.

“When staging productions, two things have always been important to me great drama and great actors. This time is no exception. I chose Ēriks Asuss’s play because the author masters the comedy genre brilliantly, and in my opinion, when there is more than enough gloom all around tasteful humor is what everyone really needs,” says the director of the production, Intars Rešetins-Pētersons.
