Paris 36 (Faubourg 36)

Drama

Set in a suburb of north-east Paris between December 1935 and July 1936 during the "revolutionary" period of the Popular Front (which introduced the first paid holidays and a shorter working week). Three unemployed performers decide to take over by force the music hall where they worked a few months earlier and stage a show there. Rated PG-13 for some sexuality and nudity, violence and brief language.
