Synopsis
Honorin is the stage manager at a theatre featuring a play set during the reign of Francis I. When an actor is indisposed, he has to step into his role and suffers badly from stage fright. A colleague attempts to use hypnotism to calm his nerves, but instead he falls into a trance and transported several hundred years back in time. Knowing what is to come, he is able to predict the future, which soon leads to accusations of witchcraft.
