Smoking – No Smoking 

Bande-annonce - Smoking/No Smoking (Alain Resnais, 1993)

The movies

Adaptation of eight plays by Alan Ayckbourn (never performed in theaters) reunited in two 2:20 films. The story presents a series of characters in a small Yorkshire village, played by two actors who offer several versions of their lives. A reflection on time, these two films complement each other, but can be seen in any order the viewer chooses.
