Summary: | Gilbert Valence (Michel Piccoli) is a successful theater actor appearing in Eugene Ionesco's "Exit the King," when he learns that his wife, daughter and son-in-law have all been killed in a car accident. When an American film director (John Malkovich) offers him a role in an English-language production "Ulysses," the rigors of playing a younger man make Valence confront his grief and have him realize just how deep his pain lies.
