An unhappy pair of parents have admitted their son to a clinic because the son thinks he is Celine Dion. Here he befriends another patient: A white man who thinks he is a black man or wants to be a black man. The on-site psychiatrist does not seek to bring back the patients to their original definitions, but rather strives to harmonize them in a mixture of generosity and confusion to enable them to undertake their emancipation in harmony. A thought-provoking and entertaining chamber comedy about identity and differences. Five good roles.
