Unrecognizable Guillaume Canet

If no release date has been revealed for the moment, a first photo however gives an overview of the very licked universe of the production.

Within the walls of what appears to be the Palace of Versailles, Guillaume Canet appears unrecognizable under magnifying prostheses, silk stockings and bloomers.

The cast also includes the Frenchwoman Aurore Broutin, the Briton Tom Hudson and the Austrian Roxane Duran.
