À l’ancienne

Description

One island, 40 inhabitants, two scammers. On a picturesque island in Brittany, lifelong friends Jean-Jean (Didier Bourdon) and Henri (Gérard Darmon, Employee of the Month) find their quiet existence disrupted when one of their fellow villagers wins millions in the national lottery. The pair hatch a plan to befriend the lucky local and hopefully share in the winnings… only to find the winner has died of shock – ticket in hand! Jean-Jean and Henri must devise another scheme. In order to claim the prize, the friends will simply steal the unlucky winner’s identity… However, the pair soon realise that to fool the lottery officials in such a small town, they’ll have to convince the villagers – who all want a piece of the pie – to back their daring plan. Jean-Jean and Henri are out to prove that you’re never too old to raise a little hell in this crowd-pleasing comedy, a remake of the Irish classic Waking Ned Devine. With a winning blend of absurdity and heart, you’ll fall in love with the stunning sights of Brittany and its colourful characters. This charming story shows what a community can achieve when they come together (yes, even fraud).
