Directed by Nicolas Vanier(L'École buissonnière, Donne-moi des ailes), C'est le monde à l'envers! is a comedy-drama that explores the consequences of a major crisis where everything comes to a sudden halt: no water, no electricity, no network. The film, written in collaboration with Jérôme Tonnerre, features a stellar cast including Michaël Youn (Divorce Club), Valérie Bonneton(Les Petits Mouchoirs) and Eric Elmosnino(Gainsbourg, vie héroïque). This comedy depicts the clash of cultures and lifestyles between a ruined Parisian businessman and a family of farmers, in a story where survival becomes a collective issue.
Faced with an unprecedented crisis, Stanislas (Michaël Youn), a prosperous Parisian businessman, finds his life turned upside down overnight: cut off from everything, he loses his fortune and has to flee the city. Accompanied by his wife and son, he takes refuge in a farmhouse he had bought for speculative purposes, a far cry from his usual comforts. When he arrives, he comes face to face with Patrick (Eric Elmosnino) and his family, the farm's operators, who categorically refuse to leave. This is the beginning of a forced cohabitation between these two families, who have nothing in common. In a context where roles and values are totally reversed, they will have to learn to help each other to survive and, perhaps, build a better future together.
C'est le monde à l'envers! will appeal to fans of social comedies and dramas where characters are plunged into unexpected situations. The themes of crisis, rurality and culture shock are reminiscent of films like Le Grand Partage and Les Invincibles, where humor is born of the confrontation between two opposing worlds. Nicolas Vanier, known for his nature films, introduces a topical subject here, tackling issues of resilience in the face of crisis and cohabitation in times of social breakdown. This film will appeal to viewers sensitive to stories where humor and emotion mingle, while offering food for thought on contemporary issues.
Scheduled for release on October 16, 2024, C'est le monde à l'envers! promises to be both a funny and touching comedy, where two opposing worlds must coexist to face an unprecedented crisis. With a talented cast led by Michaël Youn and Valérie Bonneton, this film offers a meaningful and humorous reflection on the importance of solidarity and adaptation in times of upheaval.
