While the trailer for this Netflix-style comedy already reveals half of its adventures (and definitely its main humorous highlights), it also hints at a huge potential. First, there's the original soundtrack with its electro vibes, but also the casting, featuring Alexis Manenti as a tense leader, Panayotis Pascot, the unfortunate bearer of an unusual first name, Manu Payet, Philippe Katerine, and, surprisingly, the photographer Alice Moitié.

A cocktail of beloved stars from the younger generation to create an event, complemented by the music, “one of the film’s actors,” explained Bertrand de Langeron to Vanity Fair during the filming. It's a film that balances between decline and glory, thriller and comedy, drama and...
