So one day he leaves his training establishment to make it big at the theater as a celebrated mime. But acting on stage is much harder than he had thought. At his debut, he is mercilessly booed, and the performance turns into a catastrophe for him and the theater director. Repentant, Florian returns to his old workplace and to his razor and hair scissors.
