Description:

Déguisés, grimés, cocasses, ils sont sur scène à répéter une dernière fois avant le lever du rideau. Mais voici qu'un de leurs camarades leur amène un Algérien soupçonné d'avoir déposé une bombe dans un lieu public. Il faut à tout prix le faire parler. On monte sur scène « Gégène », la magnéto. Mais sous l'emprise du spectacle des clowns et des costumes qu'ils n'ont pas le temps de quitter, les professionnels de la torture n'arrivent plus à mener l'interrogatoire de la manière prévue.

The curtain rises on their dress rehearsal before the evening's performance. Suddenly, the rehearsal is interrupted. An Algerian has been arrested, suspected of having planted a bomb primed to explode later the same evening. With no time to leave the theater or even remove their clown costumes, he must be made to talk. But on stage, in those circumstances, the interrogation takes unfores
