Ciné Club — un monde merveilleux

Join us for our monthly film screening. In May, we will discover the French comedy film ‘‘Un monde merveilleux’’  (2024)  by Giulio Callegari. It features Blanche Gardin, Xavier Lacaille, Edouard Sulpice, Laly Mercier

“In the near future, robots are in every household, at the service of humans, replacing them in their daily chores. 40 years old Max, unemployed, and her daughter Paula struggle to earn their living by selling stolen robots on the black market. Unfortunately, their latest ‘acquisition’, T-0, is too old to be recycled at their usual fence... A godsend for Paula, aged 10, who dreams of owning her own robot! Her mother, yet vehemently opposed to machines, agrees to keep him until another buyer can be found... When Paula’s custody is taken away from her after yet another scheme goes wrong, Max has no choice but to rely on T-0, who is ready to do anything to help.”

The screening will be followed by a discussion about the movie led by Abdel Hamouchi, one of our French Instructors who is passionate about cinema.
