A son and his father, trying to escape from the police, find refuge at a summer camp for young adults with disabilities, where they pose as residents and their tutors. 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 it on screen. He was impressed by Le huitième jour (1996), and at that time he thought the door had finally opened, but it seemed to him that it was immediately closed. He had to face a lot of negativity while making the film, people casually told him “we know they exist; we don’t need to show them!”, which only strengthened his motivation. In the coach, Marc asks Alice if he can put on some music, and when she answers, it’s 10:07 on her phone. When Marc turns on the music, the clock behind him shows 1:04. Furthermore, a few frames later, the clock suddenly stops at 1:05 and then 1:08. Reference: La grande semaine: Episode #1.6 (2024).

Without any expectations, I decided to watch this movie on a plane, but I’m so glad I did. It’s been a while since I laughed so hard at a movie. I had to listen to my laughter on a plane, but I was cracking up inside! What a joy to watch. The actors are so real and engaging. It might resonate more with those who are familiar with French culture, especially the beautiful French countryside. The movie also makes you think about the people who work “for a little extra” and take care of them. Forget the misery in the news – watch this movie with your family and enjoy it!"
