Faut Savoir se Contenter de Beaucoup

2015-09-17 · 90 min · ★ 10.0

Comedy

Revolution isn't a piece of cake, not even for Noël, the anarcho-burlesque agitator and imperial troublemaker of the international pastry world. And since the road from the great night to the radiant dawn is long, you might as well do it in a Cadillac. Provided, of course, you can find one, because Cadillacs are like the Indignados: the more you talk about them, the fewer you find. But when it comes to getting behind bars, it's still classier than a cell in La Santé prison. Jean-Marc wouldn't disagree. A persevering man, Jean-Marc, not the type to give up. With him, you have to be content with a lot. Long drawn to direct action, he discovers with Noël the charms of a guerrilla revolution. And together they lead us down the back roads, beyond the barriers, guided by the Muses and by chance encounters, irresistibly drawn in by the quest for a better world.
