Manon (2012)

16 November ’12 > 13 December ’12

Info

Lescaut waits in the arrivals hall for his niece Manon, who comes from the Balkans, to take her – at the request of her parents – to a convent where she has to work.
As soon as Manon arrives at the airport, she falls for all the luxury that she sees.
Everyone is impressed by her beauty and both Guillot de Morfontaine and the young Des Grieux fall for her. The high-spirited Manon decides not to let himself be hidden away and runs off with Des Grieux, leaving an angry Lescaut and an aggrieved Guillot behind.
They don’t leave it at that and ultimately Manon is faced with the choice: go for love or the money? But whether her choice turns out well…
