An actor that we have already seen in two other series:
Plan Coeur

I promise you
on TF1.
"When I play, I like to feel emotions that I have never felt and to live lives that I have never lived. Fortunately, I did not live his", explains Guillaume Labbé at the microphone of Europe 1. "What I liked when I read the script is that the series manages to tackle very heavy themes in a short time with substance and accuracy, while being surprising."
Clara Luciani at the soundtrack
The School of Life
is therefore a nuanced series, in which music occupies an important place.
Particular thanks to a song,
Beaux
by Clara Luciani.
This title returns at each touching moment of the reconstruction of Vincent Picard, it was specially composed for the series.
And this song helped Guillaume Labbé to interpret certain scenes.
"The first time I heard it, it was in my character's apartment, for scenes of solitude where the memory of his wife haunts him", recalls the actor.
“Nagui, who is a co-producer, made us listen to a first version, without the lyrics, and it was already very strong. I never spoke to Clara Luciani, I never had the opportunity to thank her. "
It is Emilie Dequenne who embodies the wife of Vincent Picard. Also in the cast: Bruno Sanches (Liliane in the comic duo Catherine and Liliane), Déborah François (
