Ulysses & Mona

Cantona plays Ulysse, a famous artist who has disappeared into the country to live by himself in a rickety mansion. His life is in tatters. His artistic reputation is at an all-time low. He has left his wife, and his son is a disaffected stranger to him. Into this wreck of an existence comes a young art student. Mona (Manal Issa) who admires Ulysse’s work and, naively, hopes to become his assistant. She tracks him down at his isolated retreat, where he is playing tennis alone with a ball machine. Ulysse is completely uninterested in Mona’s request to study at his side. For him, there is no hope, no future, no tomorrow.
