To escape the police, a son and his father find refuge in a summer camp for young adults with disabilities, posing as a resident and his educator. The beginning of trouble and a wonderful human experience that will change them forever.. Artus has always been impressed by the imagination and energy of mentally handicapped people, and really wanted to show that on screen. He had been fascinated with Le huitième jour (1996) and thought at the time that the door was finally open, but it seemed to him that it was closed right after. During the making of this movie, he had to face a lot of negativity, with people casually telling him that "we know they exist; no need to show them!", which only reinforced his motivation.. In the coach, Marc asks Alice if he can put on some music, and when she replies, it's 10:07 on her phone. When Marc puts the music on, the clock behind him says 1:04. On top of that, a few shots later, the clock suddenly goes from 1:05 to 1:08.. Referenced in La grande semaine: Episode #1.6 (2024). Love in PortofinoMusic by Fred BuscaglioneItalian lyrics by Leo ChiossoFrench lyrics by Jacques LaruePerformed by Dalida. I chose to watch this movie on a flight without any expectations, but I'm so glad I did. It's been a while since a film made me laugh this hard. Being on a plane, I had to keep my laughter quiet, but inside, I was cracking up! What a joy to watch. The actors are so genuine and endearing. It might resonate more with those familiar with French culture, especially with its setting in the beautiful French countryside. The film also makes you reflect on the people who work with and care for those with 'a little something extra.' Forget the misery in the news-watch this movie with your family and enjoy!"
