Adapted from the successful web series that has racked up over 150 million views on YouTube, Sous écrous is set to conquer cinemas. Directed by Hakim Boughéraba and co-written with Redouane Bougheraba, this action-comedy follows the daily lives of two Marseilles inmates: Sami, who discovers prison life for the first time, and Nada, self-proclaimed "biggest thug on the boardwalk". Scheduled for release on December 18, 2024, this adaptation promises hilarious scenes and explosive situations, where appearances are often deceptive.
Sami (played by Ichem Boughéraba) and Nada (played by Arriles Amrani) are two prisoners who navigate the prison world in their own way. Nada, boastful and arrogant, presents himself as the undisputed kingpin of the penitentiary center, while Sami discovers this unknown world with apprehension. However, as the days go by, the masks come off and everyone reveals a very different side of themselves. This dynamic action-comedy humorously exposes the reality of prison, where nothing is really what it seems, between deception, improbable alliances and burlesque situations.
Sous écrous is aimed at a wide audience, particularly fans of French comedies and those who followed the eponymous web series. This film will appeal to those who enjoyed comedies like Les Déguns or Les Tuche, mixing popular humor and absurd situations in a Marseilles setting. The film's originality lies in its unusual setting for a comedy: the prison environment, often associated with drama, is treated here with a light, offbeat tone. Hakim Boughéraba uses the dynamic between the two main characters to play on misunderstandings, tensions and unexpected turns of events.
Sous écrous, in theaters December 18, 2024, promises to make audiences laugh with its wacky humor and colorful characters. After its triumph on YouTube, this prison comedy from Marseilles will make its way to the big screen, buoyed by a talented cast and writing that promises situations as funny as they are unexpected.
