Marcelo Novais Teles, a young Brazilian, arrives in Paris to become an actor. But he is caught up in a very intense love as well as professional life; that's when he choses to film everything as time progresses. Dinner, parties, rehearsals, friendly and family meetings, falsely profound conversations, trips to Europe, etc. THE EXILED is the magnificently happy montage of these sequences, home movie of an obvious and chronic happiness, where the insolence of youth and its beauty are displayed. There are many well-known faces of actors who have become famous since then, which adds to the charm continuously lavished by these innocent images. Self-portrait in the form of a generational portrait, where the love of art crosses the art of living, the exile here is in the land of happiness.

Marcelo est à Paris depuis un an lorsqu’il reçoit une lettre du Brésil annonçant qu’il est peut-être père d’une petite fille. Vu les circonstances, il n’est pas question de faire un test de paternité. Vingt ans plus tard, Marcelo est toujours en France. Sa vie, il la construit au jour le jour, s'engageant dans celle des autres plutôt que dans la sienne. En attendant, la solitude guette.
