French one is presently showing in the same time (6)

I believe the answer is:

unison

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'the same time' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both human attributes as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'french one is presently showing' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'one' could be 'un' (northern English dialect form of 'one') and 'un' is found within the answer.
'is' is present in the answer.
'showing' could be 'on' (as in a film showing or on at a cinema) and 'on' is present in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for unison that I've seen before include "Unanimity" , "As one, singers perhaps" , "State of corresponding exactly; occurring together" , "all players directed to the same pitch" , "Trade union (where all agree?)" .)
