Synopsis
Alexandre, a down-on-his-luck unemployed man, has two months to prove to his wife that he can take care of their two young children and be
financially independent. The problem: The Box, the very friendly start-up that wants to hire him on a trial basis, has a strict "No
Kids!" policy, and Séverine, his future boss, is a ruthless and volatile character. To get the job, Alexandre has to lie... Will his
encounter with Arcimboldo, a self-made entrepreneur and king of app-based gigs, help this valiant but bewildered man overcome all these
challenges?
Bruno Podalydès is a French writer, film director, producer and actor. His brother Denis Podalydès is also an actor.
Denis Podalydès is a French actor, scriptwriter, and theatre director. Podalydès has appeared in more than 140 films and
television shows since 1989. He starred in The Officers' Ward, which was entered into the 2001 Cannes Film Festival.
“A funny, subtle, intelligent, inventive, and insightful film, a truly enjoyable cinematic experience carried by the Podalydes
brothers and Sandrine Kiberlain, and a superb cast. A tender and poetic vision of parenthood, human frailties, the harsh realities of the
gig economy, the excesses of the startup nation, marketing hype, and hyper-connected gadgets. All of this is treated with a great deal of
humor and lightheartedness, complete with amusement park rides and cotton candy. We highly recommend it and want more!”
