A successful playwright has his wife and mistresses act in his plays to protect himself from the realities of life. But what if life catches up with him?
Robert Pirel has been married to Élisabeth for a long time. And he's been collecting mistresses for a long time. He directs them onstage alongside his wife (who always has the leading role). Right in front of his daughter Julie, who suspects nothing. And his old mother Luce, who knows everything. Because Robert Pirel is a strange and rather eccentric man. He is a playwright and directs his own plays, which titillates his instincts as a demigod. But what he really loves is improvisation... and that's when life creeps in.
Then he meets Natacha Walz in the Métro and she falls in love with him, so in love that she wants his child, while playing the part of the mistress on stage. That's when the dramatic twists start to pile up. There are the laws of nature and the laws of love...
A pacey comedy about relationships, Married to the Demigod is narrated by the different characters in turn, creating a weird and wonderful round.
