Following a jewel heist, two criminals, Lucien and Paulo are on the run when opportunity knocks – they are mistakenly escorted onto a bus going to a summer camp in the French countryside for young adults with disabilities.
To avoid detection, Paulo assumes the role of an intellectually disabled camper with his father, Lucien acting as his "caregiver".
But slowly, Lucien and Paulo warm to their situation and learn there’s more to life than a quick score. It is a story that perfectly mixes humour and drama as it highlights the life and daily challenges of people with disabilities.
"This film has stormed the French box office. It’s not only the biggest hit so far this year, it's also the highest grossing French movie since the 2020 pandemic." - Variety
Showing at Forum North, 7 Rust Ave Whangarei on Thursday, 23rd October at 6pm and Thursday, 30th October at 8pm

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
