Comedy

Éric Besnard, the creative force behind Delicious , one of the biggest French films  of the last few years delivers another entertaining film, giving two great actors, Lambert Wilson (De Gaulle, Happy 50) and Gregory Gadebois ( Delicious, Stroke Of Luck) the chance to show their comedic talents as two seemingly polar opposites who are in denial about the life they really want to lead.

Does Pierre, played by Gadebois really want to be alone, away from technology in a remote Alpine getaway and does Vincent a successful and well known entrepreneur really crave Pierre's lifestyle which he happens upon when his car breaks down and Pierre assists him.

Nothing and no one is what they seem.  The more time they spend togteher the more they clash, but all the while secrets about their true intentions emerge and a bond of sorts is formed.

Set against a stunning alpine backdrop, this odd couple buddy comedy has a comic dynamic that delivers for the viewer. It also delivers some serious threads about modernity, love and what's really important in life.
