English title: Francis the First.
A humble theater employee in a hypnotic trance is taken to the court of French king Francis the First where he must impersonate an unfaithful wife's brother in order to save her skin.
A case of oneiric time travel, where the historical characters resemble the subject's waking-life acquaintances (and he is aware of this fact). Its crude humor's mainstay is the protagonist's consultation of Larousse for future events; also, he knows all about England's Henry VIII because he "saw the movie". A great success at the time, according to some reports, and mentioned appreciatively by some film critics.
