Once salon owner Suze Trappet is diagnosed with a terminal illness,[6] she decides to find the child she was forced to abandon when she was 15 years old.
Her journey leads her to cross paths with JB, a fifty-something in full burn-out, and Mr. Blin, a blind archivist of impressive enthusiasm.
However, Les Inrockuptibles found that, despite the irreverent title, the general message was too consensual and that filming bordered on kitsch.
A brief mention of a Francine Weber is a clear tip of the chapeau to French filmmaker Francis Veber (“Le Dîner de Cons,” “The Toy”).
Both are beloved French farces, whereas Dupontel’s film, which doesn’t lack for ambition, only focus, fails to live up to the Veber touch or to the dystopian sci-fi classic that has served as its creator’s longtime inspiration.
