Is truth soluble in desire?<div> Despite her partner's reservations, a teacher prepares to welcome the principal of her high school, a troubled man with enigmatic intentions, into her home. Very quickly, as the lines between personal and professional life blur, unease sets in. What does he want to talk to her about so urgently? And to what end?</div><div><br></div><div> Part role-playing game, part strategy game, the evening oscillates between the subtle precision of a chess match and the violence of a boxing match. Under the blows and attacks, masks begin to crack. A suspenseful, claustrophobic drama, charged with explosive unspoken words, orchestrated in a single take by a master of contemporary German dramaturgy, and brought to life in this French premiere by a cast with striking chemistry.</div><div><br></div>
