Paris 36

A backstage musical without the glamour, set in a crumbling Paris theater during the 1936 strikes. A washed-up stagehand hustles to launch a timid singer as politics and passion collide behind the curtain. Delivers old-school French melodrama with grit, anchored by raw performances and flea-market romance.
