The Wonderers (French: Qui brille au combat) is an upcoming French drama film directed by Joséphine Japy in her directorial debut, from a screenplay she co-wrote with Olivier Torres based on the true story of her younger sister, Bertille, who has a severe disability that leads to autistic behavior.
It stars Mélanie Laurent, Pierre-Yves Cardinal, Angelina Woreth and Sarah Pachoud.
[1] Mélanie Laurent, Pierre-Yves Cardinal, Angelina Woreth and Sarah Pachoud were announced in the cast on 4 September 2024.
[5] Anne Loiret, Juliette Gasquet, Félix Kysyl, Thomas Gioria, Birane Ba, Maxence Tual, Stéphane Varupenne, Ilinka Lony, Lucas Cenciai, Najim Zeghoudi, Pascal Decolland and Serpentine Teyssier completed the cast.
[7] Japy said she was looking at the meaning of her sister's name and found out that it means "the one who shines in battle" (or "woman warrior"), and literally "qui brille au combat" in French,[4] which ended up being the film's final title in French.
