EFF: A Little Something Extra

Un p'tit truc en plus

VIC & NSW Premiere

The number one hit at the French box office last year – surpassing 10 million admissions to become one of the highest grossing films of all time – this warm and deeply humanistic comedy from popular French comedian Artus is an irreverent fish-out-of-water romp.

To escape from the police after a chaotic jewel heist, a notorious criminal and his adult son Paulo (Artus) chance upon an unexpected escape route when they are mistakenly ushered onto a bus bound for a summer camp for young adults with disabilities.

Kicking off a series of whacky misadventures, this desperate escape plan becomes a profound and unexpected journey of growth and connection that will transform the pair forever. The casting of non-professional actors in supporting roles gives this big-hearted film its humanistic core and offers a rare window into the daily lives of people living with disabilities.

It’s easy to see why A Little Something Extra has resonated with audiences in France and across the world, with talks of an English-language remake already on the cards.
