A Difficult Year (2023)

Overview

Comedy

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.

Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

The directors of 'Intouchables' return to their comfort zone: unlikely friendships across class lines, now with added climate anxiety.

Trivia

The activist compound was filmed at a real autonomous zone in southern France, with actual activists as extras—some reportedly didn't realize it was satire until later.
