On a dark and stormy night, Eric crashes into a tree at 70 km/h. He spends a year in a coma, while his friend Ramzy hits the big time with a new TV show. Fiercely jealous, comedian Eric decides to break into artsy and independent cinema to prove against all odds that he can make a serious, deep and moving film. Starring Eric Judor, Monica Bellucci and Vincent Cassel, as you have never seen them before!

Followed by a Q&A with co-screenwriter Hafid F. Benamar.
