Dramatic School (1938)

In the heart of prestigious Paris, Louise Muban is an ambitious actress-in-waiting, studying by day at the elite Paris School of Drama, while her nights are spent laboring in a monotonous gas meter factory. As the curtain of her life unfolds, Louise masterfully "performs" her existence, causing her fellow drama students to question the authenticity of her grand tales. When a chance encounter with a suave playboy transforms into a woven tapestry of club visits and burgeoning romance in her storytelling, her tales take on a life of their own. However, her classmate Nana, upon crossing paths with the same playboy, uncovers the truth beneath Louise's fabricated narratives. As the drama heightens, Nana ingeniously lays a trap to unmask Louise's deception, leading to the shattering of one illusion and the startling revelation of another. This captivating tale of aspiration, deception, and reality beautifully reflects the theater of life, where every day is a performance and truth can be stranger than fiction.
