In the end, the other boy is picked for the role of a lifetime. A devastated Martin tries to move on with his life. But how can he escape his failure, especially when it’s the most famous film series in the world?Foenkinos’s smash-hit Second Best is a playful, poignant story about fate, loss and forging one’s own path in an age of never-ending comparison.
