A Man wakes up on a bus. Everybody is gone. Night has fallen. He gets off the bus and finds himself at the edge of a forest. Sounds are coming from deep within the woods. The Man enters the forest and disappears into the night. Continental stages four characters whose lives will subtly intertwine due to this disappearance. Lucette, the Man’s wife who anxiously awaits her husband’s return. Louis, a young traveling salesman who accepts a job that puts pressure on his relationship with his wife. Chantal, a hotel receptionist who dreams of sharing her life with someone special. Marcel, an ex-gambler who confronts the realities of aging. Although told separately, these stories end up by intersecting and mirroring each other. A bittersweet black comedy, Continental takes a fresh look at the vulnerability of individuals and the fragile link that unites us to one another.
