Arditi or Attal, which of the two “Maestro(s)” leads the other?

• A father and a son conductors see their professional rivalry explode following a misunderstanding.

• Pierre Arditi and Yvan Attal embody them brilliantly and sensitively.

His performance, like that of his partner, brings real moments of pleasure, especially during a face-to-face encounter that the spectator eagerly awaits.

“Pierre and I had to achieve a balance in our scenes together, specifies Yvan Attal.
