The film stars Benoît, a young man willing to do anything to squeeze money out of 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.
L'Heureuse élue is available on VOD from January 23, 2025.
Synopsis: To extort money from his parents, Benoît asks a friend to pose as his future wife during a family trip to Morocco. But when she withdraws on the day of departure, he has no choice but to offer the role of his fake fiancée... to Fiona, his Uber driver! The young woman, with her impulsive, unfiltered temperament, stands out in Benoît's bourgeois family. Between Fiona's outspokenness and repeated gaffes, Benoît is going to have a hard time convincing his parents that he's found the lucky one...
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 are shattered by the irresistible Camille Lellouche. This film promises to make you laugh and think about appearances and social pressures, while entertaining a wide audience thanks to its hilarious situations and talented cast.
