A Difficult Year
"What's the worst that could happen to them?"
Compulsive spenders Albert and Bruno are in debt up to their necks. While seeking help from community workers to get their lives back on track, they run into a group of young green activists. Lured by the free beer and snacks rather than by the ideals of eco-activists, Albert and Bruno find themselves joining the movement without much conviction.
Directors: Olivier Nakache, Éric Toledano
Written by: Éric Toledano, Olivier Nakache
Produced by: Nicolas Duval Adassovsky, Hervé Ruet
