the setting is a summer theater

A theater company is staging Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream in a few days. They do some casual rehearsals at the director's house. However, some of them are showing their discontent with the casting.

When a group of student actors travel to a workshop in Dordogne to put on a production of Shakespeare's As You Like It as a summer project, they are as lively and high-spirited a group as one could ask for. While they are there, the young man who has the leading role begins casting cow eyes at the director's wife (Valerie Stroh), and soon she and the boy are having an affair. By the end of the summer, the wife is sufficiently charmed to wonder how she could have gotten into this situation where she deeply loves both men.

Six musician friends are looking to spend their last summer before entering the professional world.
