Des jours meilleurs: hopeful comedy with Valérie Bonneton, Michèle Laroque and Sabrina Ouazani

Scheduled for release on March 5, 2025, Des jours meilleurs is a comedy directed by Elsa Bennett and Hippolyte Dard. Starring Valérie Bonneton, Michèle Laroque and Sabrina Ouazani, the film tells the story of Suzanne, a struggling mother who, after losing everything, is offered a second chance thanks to an extraordinary adventure: taking part in a rally in the Moroccan desert. The film blends humor and emotion as it follows three women whose different backgrounds are united by the same goal of redemption.

After a serious car accident, Suzanne (played by Valérie Bonneton) loses custody of her three children. To get her life back, she must seek treatment at a center for alcoholics. As soon as she arrives, she meets Alice(Michèle Laroque) and Diane(Sabrina Ouazani), two strong-willed women who also share their own personal struggles. Together, they form an unlikely trio that Denis (Clovis Cornillac), a benevolent sports educator, tries to unite around a daring project: taking part in the Rallye des Dunes in the Moroccan desert.

For these fragile but determined women, this rally is more than just a competition: it's a chance to regain their self-confidence and rebuild their lives. But to do so, they will have to overcome not only the physical challenges of the desert, but also their own inner demons.

Des jours meilleurs is aimed at a wide audience, especially fans of humanist comedies who appreciate tales of resilience and personal transformation. Fans of films such as Le Grand Bain or Les Invisibles will find the same motley group dynamic here, where humor and emotion blend with finesse. What makes this film so special is the way it tackles serious themes such as alcoholism, family reconstruction and friendship, while remaining entertaining and accessible.

The originality of Des jours meilleurs lies in the idea of combining a road-movie in the heart of the Moroccan desert with a healing journey for characters who are both vulnerable and endearing. The Dune Rally thus becomes a metaphor for their struggle to regain dignity and hope, providing a spectacular and exotic setting for this high-energy comedy.

With a brilliant cast including Valérie Bonneton, Michèle Laroque and Sabrina Ouazani, Des jours meilleurs promises to be an inspiring comedy about redemption, friendship and collective strength. In theaters March 5, 2025, this film promises touching moments and laughter, while offering a message of hope and courage.
