Alberta Premiere

When Albert and Bruno, both compulsive spenders and in debt up to their necks, turn to community workers to get a grip on their lives, they run into a group of young green activists. Lured by the free beer and crisps rather than by the ideals of these eco-activists, Albert and Bruno find themselves joining the movement without much conviction.

Following on the success of films such as THE INTOUCHABLES and THE SPECIALS (CIFF2019), Olivier Nakache and Éric Toledano have crafted a film about a pair of lovable losers who might just find a purpose in this world - even as it falls apart.

Content Warning: themes of suicide.
