LAUGHTER AND PUNISHMENT

by Isabelle Doval

synopsis

Vincent is a young osteopath spilling over with energy. He constantly jokes with his patients, friends and wife Camille, often overdoing it. Worn out by living with a man who never listens to her, Camille decides to leave him.
The same evening, Vincent discovers that his practical jokes can sometimes backfire and lead to real drama. Torn between his hilarious nature and his meticulously hidden sensitivity, Vincent begins an extraordinary journey of self-discovery. In order to find himself, he must confront his life, his true feelings and master his humor to gain real happiness.
