To escape the police, a son and his father take refuge in a summer camp for disabled youth, posing as a resident and his tutor. The beginning of trouble and a wonderful human experience that will change them forever… Arthus has always been impressed by the imagination and energy of people with intellectual disabilities and really wanted to show this on screen. He was fascinated by Le huitiΓ¨me jour (1996) and then he thought that the door had finally opened, but it seemed to him that it was immediately closed. During the making of this film, he had to face a lot of negativity, with people casually telling him that "we know they exist; there’s no need to show them!", which only strengthened his motivation. In the carriage, Mark asks Alice if he can play some music and when she answers, it’s 10:07 on her phone. When Mark plays the music, the clock behind him reads 1:04. On top of that, a few shots later, the clock suddenly jumps from 1:05 to 1:08.. Mentioned in La grande semaine: Episode #1.6 (2024). Love in Portofino Music by Fred Buscaglione Italian lyrics by Leo Chioso French lyrics by Jacques Larroux Performed by Dalida. I chose to watch this movie on a flight with no expectations, but I’m glad I did. It’s been a long time since a movie made me laugh so hard. Since I was on a plane, I had to suppress my laughter, but inside I was cracking up! What a pleasure to watch. The actors are so sincere and likeable. It may resonate more with those who are familiar with French culture, especially with its setting in the beautiful French countryside. The movie also makes you think about the people who work with and care for those with “something more.” Forget the misery in the news – watch this movie with your family and enjoy!"
