THE ENTERTAINERS

 

Clarisse is a street artist. Together with her colleague Yakari, she performs various tricks to amuse the passers-by. One of them happens to be a respectable director who invites them to stage a number in his show. When things go awry, Clarisse and Yakari find themselves victims of their own game.
The film is inspired by the contemporary political situation.
