L'Heureuse élue, a comedy by Frank Bellocq starring Camille Lellouche and Michèle Laroque, recounts the adventures of a desperate man who, to deceive his parents, hires his Uber driver as a fake fiancée. In theaters September 25, 2024.

On September 25, 2024, Frank Bellocq returns with L'Heureuse élue, a promising comedy written by Daive Cohen, bringing together Camille Lellouche(Les Fantasmes), Lionel Erdogan(Engrenages), and Michèle Laroque(Le Sens de la famille). The film stars Benoît, a young man willing to do anything to extort money from his parents, even passing off his Uber driver as his future wife during a family trip to Morocco. An explosive situation that promises unforgettable laughs and moments of embarrassment, especially when Fiona, played by the talented Camille Lellouche, invites herself into Benoît's bourgeois family.

Benoît, struggling financially, concocts a daring plan to manipulate his parents: he hires a friend to play the role of his fiancée on a family trip to Morocco. But when she pulls out at the last minute, Benoît turns desperately to Fiona, his Uber driver, an impulsive, straightforward young woman totally at odds with his parents' expectations. Fiona, with her explosive, outspoken personality, quickly disrupts the family dynamic. Between blunders and culture shock, L'Heureuse élue humorously explores social stereotypes and pretense.

L'Heureuse élue is aimed primarily at fans of light comedy and hilarious situations, where situational comedy and misunderstandings take center stage. Fans of films such as Le Dîner de cons and Qu'est-ce qu'on a fait au Bon Dieu? should also find something to their liking, thanks to the boundless energy of Camille Lellouche, who plays a character as unexpected as she is endearing. The film stands out for its underlying social critique, playing on the contrast between social classes and family values, all with biting humor and pungent dialogue.

With L'Heureuse élue, Frank Bellocq and Daive Cohen offer a comedy in which family conventions shatter under the impetus of an irresistible Camille Lellouche. To be released on September 25, 2024, the film promises to make people laugh and think about appearances and social pressures, while entertaining a wide audience thanks to its hilarious situations and talented cast.
