Kaïros

2026, French. Directed by Jennifer Alleyn.

From the Greek: Kairos, the right time.

After a year of filming abroad, Manu, a once prominent actor, returns to his hometown. But getting back into the business isn't as easy as he thought. After several unsuccessful auditions, he's no longer sure of anything. Against all odds, he lands a job hosting a nighttime call-in radio show. His listeners are mainly newcomers, refugees and exiles with varied life experiences, working graveyard shifts. Manu gradually appropriates this space, this gathering of mixed voices, to launch philosophical questions into the night. His words are engaging. He becomes an anchor for many listeners. His life takes on new meaning.
