A son and his father, in order to escape from the police, find refuge in a summer camp for disabled youth, where they pretend to be residents and educators. The beginning of trouble and a wonderful human experience that will change them forever… Artus has always been fascinated by the imagination and energy of people with intellectual disabilities, and he really wanted to show this on the screen. He was impressed by Le huitième jour (1996), and then he thought the door had finally opened, but it seemed to him that it was immediately closed. During the making of the film, he had to deal with a lot of negativity, people casually told him that "we know they exist; "We don’t need to show them!", which only increased his motivation. In the carriage, Mark asks Alice if she can play music, and when she answers, it’s 10:07 on her phone. When Mark starts the music, the clock behind him shows 1:04. In addition, a few frames later, the clock suddenly stops at 1:05 and then at 1:08. La grande semaine: Episode #1.6 (2024) was mentioned. Love in Portofino Music by Fred Buscaglione Italian lyrics by Leo Chioso French lyrics by Jacques Larue Performed by Dalida. Without any expectations, I decided to watch this film on a flight, but I’m glad I did. It’s been a long time since I’ve laughed so hard at a film. Since I was on a plane, I had to suppress my laughter, but inside I was cracking up! What a joy to watch. The actors are very sincere and likeable. It might resonate more with those who know French culture, especially in the beautiful French countryside. The film also makes you think about people who work with “something more” and care about them. Forget the misery in the news – watch this movie with your family and enjoy!"
