Heartbeat
1938 · Movie · 160 min. · France
Casimir Fabre (Jean Castan) and Irénée Fabre (Fernandel) work in their uncle’s grocer’s shop in a Provençal village. Whilst Casimir sticks to his job, Irénée only dreams of becoming a film star. When a film company arrives in the area, Irénée seizes the opportunity and asks for a job as an actor. The film production team are amused by the pretensions of this "schpountz" (a naïve fool who sees himself as a film star) and they offer him a false contract with a studio in Paris. Believing that stardom awaits him, Irénée sets out for Paris...
